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

Pulsed field gel electrophoresis experiments show that chromosomal length polymorphisms are produced during meiosis in the ascomycetous plant pathogen Leptosphaeria maculans. Homologues in tetrads of L. maculans were identified on the basis of their binding to chromosome-specific probes that included beta-tubulin, nitrate reductase, 18S ribosomal DNA and two Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. Changes in size of homologues were followed during meiosis. Significant karyotype variation was evident due to the random assortment of parental homologues of different sizes. In most cases, the progeny had the same-sized homologues as the parents; however, in some instances novel-sized homologues were detected that varied in size from those of the parents by up to 50 kb. Our results are consistent with the hypothesis that these novel chromosomal length polymorphisms are produced by reciprocal recombination between parental homologous chromosomes of unequal sizes.
