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 spindle is a microtubule-based structure that facilitates chromosome segregation during mitosis and meiosis. Spindle assembly from dynamic microtubule building blocks is a major challenge for the dividing cell and a process that critically requires microtubule motors. In this review we focus on the mechanisms by which microtubule motors shape the spindle. Specifically, we address how motors are thought to move and arrange microtubules to form the characteristic bipolar morphology shared by all eukaryotic spindles as well as motor-dependent mechanisms of microtubule length regulation.
