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

Essential life processes are heavily controlled by a variety of positive and negative feedback systems. Cytokinesis failure, ultimately leading to aneuploidy, is appreciated as an early step in tumor formation in mammals and is deleterious for all cells. Further, the growing list of cancer predisposition mutations includes a number of genes whose proteins control mitosis and/or cytokinesis. Cytokinesis shape control is also an important part of pattern formation and cell-type specialization during multi-cellular development. Inherently mechanical, we hypothesized that mechanosensing and mechanical feedback are fundamental for cytokinesis shape regulation. Using mechanical perturbation, we identified a mechanosensory control system that monitors shape progression during cytokinesis. In this review, we summarize these findings and their implications for cytokinesis regulation and for understanding the cytoskeletal system architecture that governs shape control.
