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

Immunocytochemical analysis of meiotic proteins on mouse chromosome spreads is one method of choice to study prophase I chromosome organization and homologous recombination. In recent decades, the development of microscopic approaches led to the production of a large number of images that monitor fluorescent proteins, defined as fluorescent objects, and a major challenge facing the community is the deep analysis of these fluorescent objects (measurement of object length, intensity, distance between objects, as well as foci identification, counting, and colocalization). We propose a set of tools designed from the macro language of the widely used image analysis software ImageJ (Schindelin et al., Nat Methods 9: 676-682, 2012), embedded in the "MeiQuant" macro, which are specifically designed for analyzing objects in the field of meiosis. Our aim is to propose a unified evolutive common tool for image analysis, with a specific focus on mouse prophase I meiotic events.
