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

The mitotic Z and W sex chromosomes in Pleurodeles seem to be identical. Earlier morphological and molecular analyses of lampbrush paired chromosomes in the female meiosis showed clearly that 20% of the chromosomal length located in the middle part of the sex bivalent (bivalent IV) is heteromorphic. We investigated here the base content and composition of the DNA axes in the heteromorphic region by quantitative fluorescence imaging using various base-specific (DAPI, Hoechst 33342 and chromo-mycin A3) or base-nonspecific (ethidium bromide) fluorescent DNA probes. Our results show a significantly higher percentage of AT bases in Z than in W differential sectors. In addition the entire base content of Z appears slightly higher than that of W.
