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

Methods have been devised for analyzing chromosome copy numbers in S. cerevisiae strains that may be polyploid or aneuploid, as is apparent in the case of many industrial strains. The initial step involved transformation of a strain with an integrative "ploidy probe" transplacement fragment that enabled the copy number of the targeted chromosomal locus to be determined via genomic Southern blotting and quantitative probe hybridization. Dual probe co-hybridization to Southern genomic DNA blots was used to extend such locus copy number determinations to other loci within the same chromosome, thereby screening for internal consistency along the length of the chromosome. This approach was also used to extend the analysis to other chromosomes in the genome. The method was established and verified with euploid series laboratory strains and then used to examine chromosome copy numbers in three industrial strains. One brewing strain apparently contained three copies of the chromosomes tested, whilst another brewing and a baking strain showed evidence of aneuploidy.
