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 evolutionary relationships of Chinese hamster X chromosome and autosome DNA sequences were compared by solution hybridization techniques. Chinese hamster X chromosome tracer was prepared by radiolabeling DNA from chromosomes isolated by fluorescence-activated sorting. Radiolabeled Chinese hamster total genomic DNA, approximately 90% of which is of autosome origin, was used as autosome tracer. Each tracer was mixed with excess driver DNA of Chinese hamster, Syrian hamster, rat, rabbit, cat, cow, or human origin. Reaction mixtures were melted and allowed to reassociate to an equivalent CoT of 12,000, under conditions which permitted 35% mismatch in DNA duplexes. Both the extent of duplex formation (the normalized percentage hybridization or NPH) and the average thermal stability of the duplexes formed (melting temperature or Tm) were measured; these values were used to compare the evolutionary relatedness of tracer and driver DNAs. The pattern of evolutionary relatedness revealed by comparing either the Tm or NPH values obtained with different drivers was the same for X chromosome and autosome DNA and was consistent with the phylogeny of the species examined. Although NPH and Tm values for X chromosome and autosome tracers differed, differences fell within the range of experimental error. The results of these studies provide no evidence for differential conservation of Chinese hamster X chromosome sequences, suggesting that the constraints on the mammalian X chromosome which act to maintain its gene linkage group intact do not markedly reduce the extent to which its sequences diverge during evolution.
