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

Studies of recombination between the markers D6S291 and D6S109 in individuals by sperm typing provide direct evidence for significant variation in recombination among humans. A statistically significant difference in the recombination fraction (range 5.1%-11.2%) was detected among five donors. This variation could reflect polymorphisms in genes affecting recombination or in chromosome structure. Ignoring this variability in studies designed to examine the relationship between physical and genetic distances could lead to incorrect inferences. Individual variation in recombination makes it difficult to predict the recombination fraction for an interval in any particular individual. This could be important in certain genetic counseling situations.
