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

DNA polymerase beta (pol beta) is an enzyme possessing both polymerase and deoxyribose phophatase activities. Although pol beta is not believed to participate in the replication of genomic DNA, several studies have indicated a role for pol beta in DNA repair. The high level of expression of pol beta in mouse and rat testes raises the possibility that pol beta participates in mammalian meiosis. Using antibody localization, we detect foci that stain with pol beta antisera at discrete sites along homologous chromosomes as they synapse and progress through prophase of meiosis I. These data suggest that pol beta participates in meiotic events associated with synapsis and recombination.
