The Nucleolinus: A disappearing, forgotten and (maybe) misnamed organelle.
Article in Communicative & integrative biology, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
It is common knowledge that many of the cell components we study today were discovered more than a century ago. Some have been renamed due to a newer understanding of their physiology or composition, and in some cases the old terminology is abandoned. However, it is unusual to find a structure that has not been renamed but simply forgotten. This appears to be the case for the nucleolinus, discovered at least 150 years ago and studied by Agassiz, Haekel, Montgomery and others until it virtually dropped from the literature in the early 1970s. The nucleolinus was thought to have a role in cell division, but with little knowledge of its composition and no molecular markers (until recently) available for its study, we do not know if the nucleolinus is a ubiquitous structure or an antiquated descriptor. This brief article relates most of what we know about the nucleolinus and where to find more information. Our growing knowledge concerning the role of the closely allied nucleolus in cell cycle regulation suggests that renewed study of the nucleolinus will yield important information about the biogenesis and evolution of the cell division apparatus.
