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

Cell growth and osmotic volume regulation are undoubtedly linked to the progression of the cell cycle as with each division, a newly generated cell must compensate for loss of half of its volume to its sister cell. The extent to which size influences cell cycle decisions, however, is controversial in mammalian cells. Further, a mechanism by which cells can monitor and therefore regulate their size has not been fully elucidated. Despite an ongoing debate, there have been few studies which directly address the question in single cell real-time experiments. In this study we used fluorescent time-lapse imaging to quantitatively assess volume in individual spontaneously dividing cells throughout the cell cycle. Together with biophysical studies, these establish that the efflux of salt and water brings about a condensation of cytoplasmic volume as glioma cells progress through mitosis. As cells undergo this pre-mitotic condensation (PMC) they approach a preferred cell volume preceding each division. This is functionally linked to chromatin condensation, suggesting that PMC plays an integral role in mitosis.
