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

Genes for the mitotic kinases Polo and Aurora A were first identified in Drosophila through screens of maternal effect lethal mutations for defects in spindle pole behaviour. These enzymes have been shown to be highly conserved and required for multiple functions in mitosis. Polo is stabilized at the centrosome by association with Hsp90. It is required for centrosome maturation on M-phase entry in order to recruit the gamma-tubulin ring complex and activate the abnormal spindle protein, Asp. These events facilitate the nucleation of minus ends of microtubules at the centrosome. The localization of Polo at the kinetochore and the mid-zone of the central spindle together with the phenotypes of polo mutants point to functions at the metaphase to anaphase transition and in cytokinesis. The latter are mediated, at least in part, through the Pavarotti kinesin-like motor protein and its conserved counterparts in other metazoans.
