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

Entry into mitosis of the eukaryotic cell cycle is driven by rising cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) activity. During exit from mitosis, Cdk activity must again decline. Cdk downregulation by itself, however, is not able to guide mitotic exit, if not a phosphatase reverses mitotic Cdk phosphorylation events. In budding yeast, this role is played by the Cdc14 phosphatase. We are gaining an increasingly detailed picture of its regulation during anaphase, and of the way it orchestrates ordered progression through mitosis. Much less is known about protein dephosphorylation during mitotic exit in organisms other than budding yeast, but evidence is now mounting for crucial contributions of regulated phosphatases also in metazoan cells.
