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

backgroundThe subtelomeric region of the 1RS arm of rye (Secale cereale L.) contains several kinds of tandem repeats with high copy number and they can affect meiotic recognition and pairing of this chromosome arm. However, whether different tandem repeats exert distinct effects on meiotic behavior remains unclear.

resultsFour types of F1 plants (Group1-Group4) were generated using nine wheat-rye 1BL.1RS translocation cultivars/lines in which the copy number of tandem repeats pSc200 and pSc250 on 1RS changed. The pSc200 disappeared from one of the 1RS in Group 1 and its copy number was different between the two 1RS arms in Group 2. The copy number of pSc250 was different in Group 3. No visible difference on pSc200 or pSc250 can be discerned with naked eye between the 1RS arms in Group 4. The frequencies of bouquet association, pachytene pairing and chiasmata of 1RS were all significantly higher in Group 2 than that in Group 1. No great difference in 1RS pairing frequency existed among Groups 2, 3 and 4. However, the chiasmata frequency in Group 2 was significantly lower than that in Group 3 and Group 4. It seems that the effect of pSc200 on the meiotic behavior of 1RS was greater than that of pSc250, and the copy number of pSc200 could affect the pachytene pairing and crossover of 1RS. Both 1RS in Group 3 and Group 4 displayed normal meiotic behavior. These might be used to explain how the subtelomeric regions of homologues affect their meiotic behavior.

conclusionsThe influence of tandem repeat pSc200 on meiotic pairing and chiasmata of 1RS was greater than that of tandem repeat pSc250. Reducing the difference in pSc200 copy number between the two 1RS arms would enhance the frequencies of their bouquet association, pachytene pairing and crossover.
