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

Intrachromosomal homologous recombination in whole tobacco plants was analyzed using beta-glucuronidase as non-selectable marker. We found that recombination frequencies were additive for transgenes in allelic positions and could be enhanced by treatment of plants with DNA-damaging agents. We compared the patterns of distribution of recombination events of different transgenic lines of tobacco and Arabidopsis with the respective Poisson distributions. Some lines showed Poisson-like distributions, indicating that recombination at the transgene locus was occurring in a random fashion in the plant population. In other cases, however, the distributions deviated significantly from Poisson distributions indicating that for specific transgene loci and/or configurations recombination events are not randomly distributed in the population. This was due to overrepresentation of plants with especially many as well as especially few recombination events. Analysis of one tobacco line indicated furthermore that the distribution of recombination events could be influenced by treating the seedlings with external factors. Our results suggest that different plant individuals, or parts of them, might exhibit different transient 'states' of recombination competence. A possible model relating 'recombination silencing' and transcription silencing to heterochromatization of the transgene locus is discussed.
