Astral microtubule asymmetry provides directional cues for spindle positioning in budding yeast.
Review in Experimental cell research, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Cortical force generators play a central role in the orientation and positioning of the mitotic spindle. In higher eukaryotes, asymmetrically localized cortical polarity determinants recruit or activate such force generators, which, through interactions with astral microtubules, position the mitotic spindle at the future site of cytokinesis. Recent studies in budding yeast have shown that, rather than the cell cortex, the astral microtubules themselves may provide polarity cues that are needed for asymmetric pulling on the mitotic spindle. Such asymmetry has been shown to be required for proper spindle positioning, and consequently faithful and accurate chromosome segregation. In this review, we highlight results that have shed light on spindle orientation in this classical model of asymmetric cell division, and review findings that may shed light on similar processes in higher eukaryotes.
