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

Kinetochores must continuously associate with dynamic microtubule plus ends, as they oscillate along the mitotic spindle. The molecular basis for the kinetochore to track microtubule plus ends remains unresolved. In a recent study, we have shown an essential role of the formin mDia3 in stable kinetochore microtubule attachment and metaphase chromosome alignment. This function is attributable to EB1-binding by mDia3, for replacing endogenous mDia3 with an EB1-binding deficient mutant results in chromosome misalignment. EB1 specifically targets to attached, antipoleward kinetochores with polymerizing microtubules during chromosome oscillation. Therefore, we speculate that the mDai3-EB1-APC complex formation may relay EB1 microtubule plus end-tracking activity to the kinetochore.
