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

Primary constriction of the M-phase chromosome serves as a marker for the kinetochore position. Underlying this observation is the concept that the kinetochore is spatially linked with the pericentromere where sister-chromatids are cohered. Here, we find an unconventional chromatid-cohesion pattern in Peromyscus oocytes, with sister chromatids cohered at a chromosome end, spatially separated from the kinetochore. This distal locus enriches cohesin protectors specifically during meiosis, and chromosomes with this additional cohesion site exhibit enhanced cohesin protection at anaphase I compared to those without it, implying an adaptive evolution to ensure cohesion during meiosis. The distal locus corresponds to an additional centromeric satellite block, located far from the satellite block building the kinetochore. Analyses on three Peromyscus species reveal that the internal satellite consistently assembles the kinetochore in mitosis and meiosis, whereas the distal satellite selectively enriches cohesin protectors in meiosis to promote cohesion. Our study demonstrates that cohesion regulation is flexible, controlling chromosome segregation in a cell-type dependent manner.
