Variations on theme: spindle assembly in diverse cells.
Review in Protoplasma, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
The mitotic spindle faithfully separates the genetic material, and has been reverently observed for well over a century. Across eukaryotes, while the mechanisms for moving chromosomes seem quite conserved, mechanisms for assembling the spindle often seem distinct. Two major pathways for spindle assembly are known, one based on centrosomes and the other based on chromatin, and these pathways are usually considered to be fundamentally different. We review observations of spindle assembly in animals, fungi, and plants, and argue that microtubule assembly at a particular location, centrosomes, or chromatin, reflects contingent, cell-type specific factors, rather than reflecting a fundamental distinction in the process of spindle building. We hypothesize that the essential process for spindle assembly is the motor-driven organization of microtubules that accumulate in the form of dense bundles at or near the chromosomes.
