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

Double fluorochrome staining with chromomycin A3 (CMA) and 4'-6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) was used to characterize and compare the distribution of constitutive heterochromatin along chromosomes of Citrus, Poncirus and Fortunella species. Only CMA-positive bands were distinguishable in metaphase chromosomes. Preferential distribution of heterochromatin in terminal regions, mainly of the long arm, and centromeric regions of a few long chromosomes was a common feature of these genera. Heteromorphism between possible homologous chromosomes was present in the majority of species. Citrus and Poncirus revealed some remarkably uniform chromosomes without any intensively fluorescing region, whereas Fortunella cultivars were differentiated by the presence of CMA bands in all chromosomes. Through measurements assisted by a computer, amounts of CMA-positive regions were shown to be highest in Fortunella. Similarities between Citrus and Poncirus suggest little heterochromatin diversification among karyotypes of these genera, whereas Fortunella, with higher amounts and more homogenous distribution of heterochromatin, is more divergent.
