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

Each time a cell divides its chromosome content must be equally segregated into the two daughter cells. This critical process is mediated by a complex microtubule based apparatus, the mitotic spindle. In most animal cells the centrosomes contribute to the formation and the proper function of the mitotic spindle by anchoring and nucleating microtubules and by establishing its functional bipolar organization. Aberrant expression of proteins involved in centrosome biogenesis can drive centrosome dysfunction or abnormal centrosome number, leading ultimately to improper mitotic spindle formation and chromosome missegregation. Here we review recent work focusing on the importance of the centrosome for mitotic spindle formation and the relation between the centrosome status and the mechanisms controlling faithful chromosome inheritance.
