No conventional function for the conventional kinesin?
Article in Traffic (Copenhagen, Denmark), 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
A paper by DeGiorgis et al. (DeGiorgis JA, Petukhova TA, Evans TA, Reese TS. Kinesin-3 is an organelle motor in the squid giant axon. Traffic 2008; DOI: 10.1111/j.1600-0854.2008.00809.x) in this issue of Traffic reports on the identification and function of a second squid kinesin, a kinesin-3 motor. As expected, the newly discovered motor associates with axoplasmic organelles in situ and powers motility along microtubules of vesicles isolated from squid axoplasm. Less expected was the finding that kinesin-3 may be the predominant motor for anterograde organelle movement in the squid axon, which challenges the so far undisputed view that this function is fulfilled by the conventional kinesin, kinesin-1. These novel findings let us wonder what the real function of kinesin-1--the most abundant motor in squid axons--actually is.
