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

Tomato genomic libraries were screened for the presence of simple sequence repeats (SSRs) with seventeen synthetic oligonucleotide probes, consisting of 2- to 5-basepair motifs repeated in tandem. GAn and GTn sequences were found to occur most frequently in the tomato genome (every 1.2 Mb), followed by ATTn and GCCn (every 1.4 Mb and 1.5 Mb, respectively). In contrast, only ATn and GAn microsatellites (n > 7) were found to be frequent in the GenBank database, suggesting that other motifs may be preferentially located away from genes. Polymorphism of microstellites was measured by PCR amplification of individual loci of by Southern hybridization, using a set of ten tomato cultivars. Surprisingly, only two of the nine microsatellite clones surveyed (five GTn, three GAn and one ATTn), showed length variation among these accessions. Polymorphism was also very limited between Lycopersicon esculentum and L. pennelli, two distant species. Southern analysis using the seventeen oligonucleotide probes identified GATAn and GAAAn as useful motifs for the detection of multiple polymorphic fragments among tomato cultivars. To determine the structure of microsatellite loci, a GAn probe was used for hybridization at low stringency on a small insert genomic library, and randomly selected clones were analyzed. GAn based motifs of increasing complexity were found, indicating that simple dinucleotide sequences may have evolved into larger tandem repeats such as minisatellites as a result of basepair substitution, replication slippage, and possibly unequal crossing-over. Finally, we genetically mapped loci corresponding to two amplified microsatellites, as well as nine large hypervariable fragments detected by Southern hybridization with a GATA8 probe. All loci are located around putative tomato centromeres. This may contribute to understanding of the structure of centromeric regions in tomato.
