Mechanisms of plant spindle formation.
Review in Chromosome research : an international journal on the molecular, supramolecular and evolutionary aspects of chromosome biology, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 35 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
In eukaryotes, the formation of a bipolar spindle is necessary for the equal segregation of chromosomes to daughter cells. Chromosomes, microtubules and kinetochores all contribute to spindle morphogenesis and have important roles during mitosis. A unique property of flowering plant cells is that they entirely lack centrosomes, which in animals have a major role in spindle formation. The absence of these important structures suggests that plants have evolved novel mechanisms to assure chromosome segregation. In this review, we highlight some of the recent studies on plant mitosis and argue that plants utilize a variation of "spindle self-organization" that takes advantage of the early polarity of plant cells and accentuates the role of kinetochores in stabilizing the spindle midzone in prometaphase.
