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

Chromoanagenesis defines a group of highly complex chromosome rearrangements restricted to a single or few chromosomes that are suggested to occur in a single catastrophic event. Several experimental findings have connected chromoanagenesis to the formation of micronuclei, small extranuclear chromatin structures harboring a missegregated chromosome or a chromosome fragment. Experimental evidence points to the intrinsic fragility of the envelope around micronuclei as cause of membrane rupture. Consequently, the micronuclear DNA is exposed to various cytoplasmic activities producing the pattern of localized multiple breaks characteristic of chromoanagenesis. Here, we discuss results from combined microscopic and genomic approaches that directly connect micronucleus fate with chromoanagenesis. The major methods of investigation that allowed to identify the origin of chromoanagenesis from micronuclei are also presented.
