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

The spindle checkpoint blocks cell-cycle progression until chromosomes are properly attached to the mitotic spindle. Popular models propose that checkpoint proteins associate with kinetochores to produce a "wait anaphase" signal that inhibits anaphase. Recent data suggest that a two-state switch results from using the same kinetochore proteins to bind microtubules and checkpoint proteins. At least eight protein kinases are implicated in spindle checkpoint signaling, arguing that a traditional signal transduction cascade is integral to spindle checkpoint signaling.
