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

The organization of actin filaments and their role in cytokinesis was studied in regenerating protoplasts and thallus cells of gametophytes of the brown alga Macrocystis pyrifera. Before the onset of cytokinesis, a ring of actin filaments appeared on the putative cytokinetic plane just under the plasmalemma. Light and electron microscopy of cytokinetic cells revealed that large vacuoles occupy the space between the daughter nuclei, which very often are eccentrically positioned at the cell cortex. By the progress of cytokinesis, actin filament bundles emanating from the cytokinetic ring tend to form an actin plate that enters cytoplasmic pockets in which the cytokinetic diaphragm develops. The mechanism of this cytokinetic pattern that has not been reported so far for brown algae is discussed.
