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

At the anaphase of cell divisions, the divided chromosomes move to the two poles, with the centromeres as heads and telomeres as tails. Such a polarized orientation of centromeres and telomeres is believed to be preserved in the interphase and is known as Rabl model. We analyzed the distributions of centromeres and telomeres in interphase nuclei from several plant species. Although Rabl polarity was observed in wheat, rye, barley and oats, non-Rabl patterns were discovered in sorghum, rice and maize. In the non-Rabl patterns, both centromeres and telomeres were dispersed throughout the interphase nucleus, except in the area occupied by the nucleolus. Both Rabl and non-Rabl distribution patterns of centromeres and telomeres were consistent in interphase nuclei derived from meristematic root tip cells, microspore mother cells and differentiated leaf cells. Our study demonstrated that there is a diversity of interphase chromatin organization and that the classical Rabl model is not universal in plant species.
