1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 complete sequencing of human centromeres, which are filled with highly repetitive elements, has long been challenging. In human centromeres, α-satellite monomers of about 171 bp in length are the basic repeating units, but α-satellite monomers constitute the higher-order repeat (HOR) units, and thousands of copies of highly homologous HOR units form large arrays, which have hampered sequence assembly of human centromeres. Because most HOR unit occurrences are covered by long reads of about 10 kb, the recent availability of much longer reads is expected to enable observation of individual HOR occurrences in terms of their single-nucleotide or structural variants. The time has come to examine the complete sequence of human centromeres.
