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

During the process of cytokinesis by which eukaryotic cells constrict and divide in two, multiple cellular activities have to be precisely coordinated in space and time to guarantee equal distribution of chromosomes and cytoplasm to the emerging daughter cells. Eventually, constriction of the cleavage furrow leads to the complete separation of the daughter cells. Since the basic observation of cell division some 100 years ago, the principal challenge has been to unravel the detailed molecular mechanisms and signaling events leading to cytokinesis. Regulation of this fundamental cellular process is still poorly understood yet a central issue in modern cell biology. In the recent past it became evident that small GTPases of the Ras super family play a major role during this process. This review is focused on a Rho family GTPase-mediated signaling pathway that is required for cleavage furrow assembly and cytokinesis by the actin-bundling protein cortexillin of D. discoideum cells.
