The license to pair: identification of meiotic pairing sites in Drosophila.
Review in Chromosoma, 1996. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 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
Sites for pairing and segregation of achiasmatic bivalents have been characterized in both male and female meiosis in Drosophila melanogaster. The major sex chromosome pairing site in male meiosis corresponds to the intergenic spacer repeats of the rDNA arrays, which are located in the heterochromatin of the X and Y. The sex chromosome pairing sites in females are also heterochromatic, but involve different repeated sequences. In males, weak pairing sites are widely distributed along euchromatin but not heterochromatin of chromosome 2, an autosome. One strong site for male meiotic pairing has been identified on chromosome 2; it overlaps with the his locus, which contains the repetitive structural genes for the histones. In females the sites for pairing of chromosome 4, another autosome, are restricted to the heterochromatin. Thus for both sex chromosomes and autosomes, sites for achiasmatic pairing are heterochromatic in females but euchromatic (except for the rDNA) in males. The possible roles of sequence repetition and of transcription in chromosome pairing are discussed.
