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

A cytogenetic study using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) of telomere probes, CBG, GTG and RBG banding patterns and synaptonemal complex data was carried out in 41 specimens of Nectomys from three Brazilian states: Pernambuco, Mato Grosso and São Paulo. The specimens presented 2n = 52, 53, 56 and 57, and the differences in chromosome number were due to the presence of three different supernumeraries and also to the occurrence of tandem fusions. The tandem fusions involved chromosome pairs 3 + 11 and 5 + 24 from karyotype with 2n = 56 that originated pairs 1 and 4 in specimens with 2n = 52. Sex chromosome polymorphism was also detected, and the X presented three different morphologies, which could be explained by heterochromatin addition/deletion. FISH results revealed interstitial telomeric bands (ITBs) in a submetacentric B, but no ITB was detected in the chromosomes originated by tandem fusion. The supernumeraries presented a remarkable heterogeneity of size and morphology, constitutive heterochromatin pattern and localization of telomeric sequences. Synaptonemal complex by light and electron microscopy showed the supernumerary as an autopaired univalent. The sex chromosome pairing in meiotic cells involved the heterochromatic short arm of the X chromosome and the short arm of the Y chromosome.
