The bacterial cell division protein FtsZ assembles into cytoplasmic rings in fission yeast.

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
During cytokinesis, most bacteria assemble a ring-like structure that is composed of the tubulin homolog FtsZ. The mechanisms regulating assembly and organization of FtsZ molecules into rings are not fully understood. Here, we express bacterial FtsZ in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe and find that FtsZ filaments assemble into cytoplasmic rings. Investigation of the Escherichia coli FtsZ revealed that ring assembly occurred by a process of closure and/or spooling of linear bundles. We conclude that FtsZ rings can assemble in the absence of all other bacterial cytokinetic proteins and that the process might involve hydrolysis of FtsZ-bound GTP and lateral associations between FtsZ filaments.
