The orientation of gene maps by recombination of flanking markers for the am locus of Neurospora crassa.
Article in Current genetics, 1995. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Fincham (1967), Smyth (1973 b) and Rambosek and Kinsey (1983) have each generated fine-structure maps of the am gene of Neurospora crassa. Each map had a consistent linear order of alleles but the assignment of an orientation with respect to other linkage group-V loci differed. Fincham found the end marked by the am6 allele to be at the distal end of the locus, Smyth found am6 to be at the proximal end while the data of Rambosek and Kinsey did not suggest an orientation. Smyth s orientation has been adopted as the standard, but not unreservedly. We have aligned the genetic and physical maps of the am gene, showing that am6 is at the distal end, supporting Fincham's orientation. However, we suggest that an assumption used to orient fine structure genetic maps is flawed and that the conflicting orientation between these three studies follows from the different choice of flanking markers.
