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

Polytene chromosomes of good cytological quality from pseudonurse cells (PNCs) of fs(2)B and otu11 mutants were obtained, photomaps for otu11 mutants were constructed and the general characteristics of polytene chromosomes from salivary glands (SGs) and PNCs were compared. Three conditions were found to improve the cytological quality of PNC chromosomes: temperature below 18 degrees C, a protein-rich medium and presence of the Y-chromosome. Detailed comparison of the chromosome banding pattern from SGs and PNCs has shown only minor differences between them. The frequency of asynapsis appeared to be 10 times higher for PNC chromosomes. Despite previous reports, features such as breaks and ectopic contacts turned out to be also typical for PNC chromosomes, but with remarkably lower frequencies.
