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

Microtubules assume a variety of structures throughout the different stages of the cell cycle. Ensuring the correct assembly of such structures is essential to guarantee cell division. During mitosis, it is well established that the spindle assembly checkpoint monitors the correct attachment of sister chromatids to the mitotic spindle. However, the role that microtubule cytoskeleton integrity plays for cell-cycle progression during interphase is uncertain. Here we describe the existence of a mechanism, independent of the mitotic checkpoint, that delays entry into mitosis in response to G(2)-phase microtubule damage. Disassembly of the G(2)-phase microtubule array leads to the stabilization of the universal mitotic inhibitor Wee1, thus actively delaying entry into mitosis via inhibitory Cdc2 Tyr15 phosphorylation.
