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 cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells is a complex milieu and unraveling how its unique cytoarchitecture is achieved and maintained is a central theme in modern cell biology. The actin cytoskeleton is essential for the maintenance of cell shape and locomotion, and also provides tracks for active intracellular transport. Myosins, the actin-dependent motor proteins form a superfamily of at least 15 structural classes and have been identified in a wide variety of organisms, making the presence of actin and myosins a hallmark feature of eukaryotes. Direct connections of myosins to a variety of cellular tasks are now emerging, such as in cytokinesis, phagocytosis, endocytosis, polarized secretion and exocytosis, axonal transport. Recent studies reveal that myosins also play an essential role in many aspects of signal transduction and neurosensation.
