How to make a curved Drosophila bristle using straight actin bundles.
Review in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 44 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
This, our Inaugural Article as Academy Members, is ironically our swan song from the field of the actin cytoskeleton. By reviewing what we have learned and what we think is going on during development, we hope to lure you, the reader, into applying your skills to the bristle cell. The processes of the assembly and disassembly of actin bundles is laid out in time and space in an organism that lends itself to genetic manipulation. The cell provides every process you could want: filament nucleation, growth of microvilli, joining of microvillar bundles into modules, assembly of modules into bundles, time-dependent use of at least two crossbridging proteins, filament turnover, treadmilling, disassembly, and filament translocation.
