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

Chromosomes were studied in root-tip metaphase cells of several F1 interspecific Lathyrus hybrids including: L. hirsutus x L. cassius (H x C), L. cassius x L. hirsutus (C x H), L. cassius x L. odoratus (C x O), and their parents, all with 2n = 2x = 14. Two types of morphologically distinct centromeres were identified in the hybrids on the basis of the degree of contraction of the primary constriction. At least 12 well-defined centromeres were seen in all cells of L. hirsutus, L. cassius and L. odoratus, and about 80% of cells had 14. The hybrids were more variable than the species. H x O contained between six and 14 well-defined centromeres, while cells of H x C, C x H and C x O all had seven well-defined and seven weakly defined centromeres. These were used as markers to plot their spatial disposition in two dimensions on metaphase spreads. In H x C, C x H and C x O the two types of centromeres showed a significant tendency to occupy two spatially distinct and concentrically arranged domains on the metaphase plate (P < 0.005). Owing to shortage of material subsequent work was restricted to H x C and C x H. Six or seven chromosomes of one parental genome were selectively labelled by in situ hybridization using biotinylated total genomic DNA from either parent as a probe. Moreover, there was a very strong correlation between centromere type and genomic origin (P < 0.001).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
