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

Unraveling the intricate centromere structure of human chromosomes holds profound implications, illuminating fundamental genetic mechanisms and potentially advancing our comprehension of genetic disorders and therapeutic interventions. This study rigorously identified and structurally analyzed alpha satellite higher-order repeats (HORs) within the centromere of human chromosome 15 in the complete T2T-CHM13 assembly using the high-precision GRM2023 algorithm. The most extensive alpha satellite HOR array in chromosome 15 reveals a novel cascading HOR, housing 429 15mer HOR copies, containing 4-, 7- and 11-monomer subfragments. Within each row of cascading HORs, all alpha satellite monomers are of distinct types, as in regular Willard's HORs. However, different HOR copies within the same cascading 15mer HOR contain more than one monomer of the same type. Each canonical 15mer HOR copy comprises 15 monomers belonging to only 9 different monomer types. Notably, 65% of the 429 15mer cascading HOR copies exhibit canonical structures, while 35% display variant configurations. Identified as the second most extensive alpha satellite HOR, another novel cascading HOR within human chromosome 15 encompasses 164 20mer HOR copies, each featuring two subfragments. Moreover, a distinct pattern emerges as interspersed 25mer/26mer structures differing from regular Willard's HORs and giving rise to a 34-monomer subfragment. Only a minor 18mer HOR array of 12 HOR copies is of the regular Willard's type. These revelations highlight the complexity within the chromosome 15 centromeric region, accentuating deviations from anticipated highly regular patterns and hinting at profound information encoding and functional potential within the human centromere.
