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

A high frequency of spontaneous chromosomal breakage, endomitosis, endoreduplication and hypersensitivity toward both the alkylating agent Trenimon and the radiomimetric drug bleomycin was observed in phytohemagglutinin-stimulated peripheral lymphocytes from a girl with craniosynostosis, microcephaly, ptosis, bird-like facies, and moderate mental retardation. We also observed abnormal chromosomal spiralization and some aspects of abnormal cellular division. Several fruitless attempts were made to establish a cell line. The parents were consanguineous, supporting the existence of a new, rare, autosomal, recessive condition in man. The mutation might involve a gene involved in DNA repair and/or regulation of the mitotic cycle.
