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

Homologous pairing and recombination during meiosis are facilitated by rapid prophase movements (RPMs), which depend on chromosome attachment to the nuclear envelope (NE) and on cytoplasmic forces transmitted to the chromosomes through the NE, mediated by Linker of Nucleoskeleton and Cytoskeleton (LINC) complexes. In plants, only the NE-associated SUN-domain proteins SUN1 and SUN2 have been identified as components of the RPM process. Here we show that, during meiosis, SUN1 and SUN2 form a LINC complex with the KASH-domain protein SINE3, which recruits the meiosis-specific kinesin PSS1 to the NE. These proteins accumulate at telomere-binding sites in the NE, and their loss disrupts telomere attachment and bouquet formation and abolishes RPMs. These defects lead to defective synapsis and clustered crossovers, resulting in chromosome mis-segregation. Our results establish that the mechanism underlying RPMs is conserved in Arabidopsis thaliana, with RPMs primarily facilitating homologous recognition rather than preventing non-homologous interactions.
