Elastic vibrations in seamless microtubules.
Article in European biophysics journal : EBJ, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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.
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
Parameters characterizing elastic properties of microtubules, measured in several recent experiments, reflect an anisotropic character. We describe the microscopic dynamical properties of microtubules using a discrete model based on an appropriate lattice of dimers. Adopting a harmonic approximation for the dimer-dimer interactions and estimating the lattice elastic constants, we make predictions regarding vibration dispersion relations and vibration propagation velocities. Vibration frequencies and velocities are expressed as functions of the elastic constants and of the geometrical characteristics of the microtubules. We show that vibrations which propagate along the protofilament do so significantly faster than those along the helix.
