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
In yeast and animals, Nuclear Division Cycle 80 (NDC80) is an important kinetochore protein that binds to microtubules and mediates chromosome movement. Its localization pattern is unusual, since it is generally not viewed as either an inner (centromeric chromatin) or outer (regulatory) component of the kinetochore. Here we report the characterization of NDC80 in a higher plant. By taking advantage of the large meiotic kinetochores of maize, we were able to show that NDC80 localizes outside of the constitutive kinetochore protein CENP-C. Further, a detailed analysis of mitosis indicates that NDC80 is stably present on kinetochores throughout the cell cycle. The quantity of NDC80 positively correlates with measured quantities of DNA and CENP-C, suggesting that NDC80 rapidly associates with DNA following replication and is stably maintained at centromeres during cell division. The data suggest that in plants NDC80 is on par with 'foundation' kinetochore proteins such as CENH3 and CENP-C.
