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

During meiosis, each pair of homologous chromosomes becomes connected by at least one crossover, as required for accurate segregation, and adjacent crossovers are widely separated thereby limiting total numbers. In coarsening models, this crossover patterning results from nascent recombination sites competing to accrue a limiting pro-crossover RING-domain protein (COR) that diffuses between synapsed chromosomes. Here, we delineate the localization dynamics of three mammalian CORs in the mouse and determine their interdependencies. RNF212, HEI10, and the newest member RNF212B show divergent spatiotemporal dynamics along synapsed chromosomes, including profound differences in spermatocytes and oocytes, that are not easily reconciled by elementary coarsening models. Contrasting mutant phenotypes and genetic requirements indicate that RNF212B, RNF212, and HEI10 play distinct but interdependent functions in regulating meiotic recombination and coordinating the events of meiotic prophase-I by integrating signals from DNA breaks, homolog synapsis, the cell-cycle, and incipient crossover sites.
