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

Meiotic crossover interference is a one-dimensional spatial patterning process that produces evenly-spaced crossovers. Quantitative analysis of diagnostic molecules along budding yeast chromosomes reveals that this process sets up two interdigitated patterns, of shorter and longer periodicity, by "two-tiered" patterning. Both tiers comprise clustered assemblies of three types of molecules ("triads") representing the three major components of meiotic chromosomes (crossover recombination, axes, and the synaptonemal complex). One tier of triads occurs at sites of majority ("canonical") crossovers. Second tier triads are more widely spaced but also exhibit interference, dependent on the same functions as canonical crossover interference. Diverse lines of evidence suggest that second tier triads arise at sites of previously mysterious "minority" crossovers. Finally, conserved protein remodeler Pch2/TRIP13 modulates the abundance of triad components, specifically in longer periodicity triads, dynamically in real time. Potential roles of triad structure, mechanisms of two-tiered patterning, and the nature of minority crossovers are discussed.
