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 Drosophila melanogaster females, as in most organisms, the segregation of homologous chromosomes in meiosis depends on the formation of crossovers between them. In most cases, crossovers require the synaptonemal complex (SC), a conserved multi-protein structure that forms between homologous chromosomes in early meiosis. Recent studies leveraging partial-loss-of-function alleles suggest that the SC plays a more direct role in crossover formation. One SC protein that is involved in crossover formation is SYP-4 in nematodes, which we found is a likely ortholog of the D. melanogaster SC protein Corolla. To create a hypomorphic allele of corolla in D. melanogaster, we used CRISPR/Cas9 to replace it with its D. mauritiana ortholog, yielding corolla
