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

Genetically identical cells vary in the amount of expressed proteins even when growing under the same conditions. It is not yet clear how cellular information processing copes with such stochastic fluctuations in protein levels. Here we examine the capacity of the spindle assembly checkpoint to buffer temporal fluctuations in the expression of Cdc20, a critical checkpoint target whose activity is inhibited to prevent premature cell cycle progression. Using mathematical modeling, we demonstrate that the checkpoint can buffer significant fluctuations in Cdc20 production rate. Critical to this buffering capacity is the use of sequestering-based mechanism for inhibiting Cdc20, as apposed to inhibition by enhancing protein degradation. We propose that the design of biological networks is limited by the need to overcome noise in gene expression.
