Human Chromosome 18 and Acrocentrics: A Dangerous Liaison.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The presence of thousands of repetitive sequences makes the centromere a fragile region subject to breakage. In this study we collected 31 cases of rearrangements of chromosome 18, of which 16 involved an acrocentric chromosome, during genetic screening done in three centers. We noticed a significant enrichment of reciprocal translocations between the centromere of chromosome 18 and the centromeric or pericentromeric regions of the acrocentrics. We describe five cases with translocation between chromosome 18 and an acrocentric chromosome, and one case involving the common telomere regions of chromosomes 18p and 22p. In addition, we bring evidence to support the hypothesis that chromosome 18 preferentially recombines with acrocentrics: (i) the presence on 18p11.21 of segmental duplications highly homologous to acrocentrics, that can justify a NAHR mechanism; (ii) the observation by 2D-FISH of the behavior of the centromeric regions of 18 respect to the centromeric regions of acrocentrics in the nuclei of normal subjects; (iii) the contact analysis among these regions on published Hi-C data from the human lymphoblastoid cell line (GM12878).
