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 cell division cycle can be modelled as a series of quantitative thresholds of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) activity. DNA synthesis has a lower threshold requirement for CDK than does entry into mitosis, and mitotic exit and re-setting of replication origins occur upon collapse of CDK activity below both thresholds, so that the simple rise and fall of CDK with each cell cycle might suffice to ensure repeated alternation of chromosome duplication and segregation. Recent experimental dissections of mitotic exit, which have both guided and been informed by computational modelling, suggest a more complicated mechanism, in which unidirectional progression is ensured by systems-level control of CDK function and the balance between mitotic CDK and phosphatase activities.
