Mitosis puts sisters in a strained relationship: force generation at the kinetochore.
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 5 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
During mitosis, kinetochores couple chromosomes to the dynamic tips of spindle microtubules. These attachments convert chemical energy stored in the microtubule lattice into mechanical energy, generating force to move chromosomes. In addition to mediating robust microtubule attachments, kinetochores also integrate and respond to regulatory signals that ensure the accuracy of chromosome segregation during each cell division. Signals for corrective detachment act specifically on kinetochore-microtubule attachments that fail to generate normal levels of tension, although it is unclear how tension is sensed and how the attachments are released. In this review, we discuss the mechanisms by which kinetochore-microtubule attachments generate force during chromosome biorientation, and the pathways of maturation and regulation that lead to the formation of correct attachments.
