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

Cell division serves to distribute chromosomes and organelles into two daughter cells, but the mechanism of rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) segregation in animal cell mitosis is poorly understood. Here we study the distribution of RER in mitotic HeLa cells and its relation to the cytoskeleton. At metaphase, the RER was located in the cell cortex and was most concentrated in two locations. Close to the plasma membrane the RER was closely associated with cortical actin, and after treatment with Latrunculin A RER elements retracted to the deep cortex and became more tubular. Positioning was therefore dependent on cortical F-actin. Deeper in the cortex cisternae were wrapped tightly around the contours of the spindle body and orientated along microtubules close the spindle poles. Stereology revealed a close correlation between RER volume and cell volume in telophase daughter cells. These results suggest that the RER is positioned at the outer and inner regions of metaphase cortex by association with cytoskeleton. This arrangement combined with a disposition in concentric layers, deep to the plasma membrane, appears to distribute the RER evenly in the cortex and may help to couple quantities of RER and cell constituents.
