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

By immunizing Balb/c mice with oocyte nuclei of Pleurodeles waltl we obtained a monoclonal antibody, mAb 4A6, that labels distinct globular domains of the lampbrush chromosomal axes of Pleurodeles. These domains are found at corresponding sites of homologous chromosomes, often at telomeric and putative centromeric regions, and appear to be devoid of DNA. Because of these characteristic features it is most likely that the mAb 4A6-positive domains correspond to the central part of the "axial granules" of urodelan lampbrush chromosomes. In immunoblotting analyses mAb 4A6 reacts with a nuclear antigen of approximately Mr 180000 and a structurally nonrelated cytoplasmic protein of Mr 98000, which was not characterized any further. Comparative immunofluorescence and immunoblotting studies with mAb 4A6 and an antiserum against DNA topoisomerase II (topo II) as well as immunodepletion experiments demonstrated that the nuclear 4A6 antigen is topo II. Our results indicate that topo II is not a constituent of a continuous, loop-anchoring scaffold in lampbrush chromosomes of Pleurodeles but, rather, is restricted to the axial granules.
