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

In meiotic prophase I, hundreds of DNA double-strand breaks are formed and subsequently repaired as noncrossovers or crossovers (COs). COs are essential for accurate chromosome segregation during the first meiotic division, and errors in this process result in aneuploidy, birth defects, or infertility. Such errors are more pronounced in females compared with males, indicating that CO regulation and surveillance are sexually dimorphic. We demonstrate here dual roles of cyclin N-terminal domain containing 1 (CNTD1) in ensuring appropriate CO between homologous chromosomes in oocytes and in establishing the pool of follicles in the postnatal ovary. CNTD1-deficient oocytes fail to form COs and exhibit a severely depleted follicle pool shortly after birth, which is temporally distinct from previously reported CO mutants. Further investigation indicates that follicle loss is CHK2-dependent, resulting from inappropriate retention of HORMAD1 and the absence of SKP1. These findings indicate that CNTD1 plays novel roles in CO designation and establishment of the follicular reserve in female mammals.
