Models of assembly and disassembly of individual microtubules: stochastic and averaged equations.
Article in Journal of biological physics, 1999. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
In this paper we present solutions of the master equations for the microtubule length and show that the local probability for rescues or catastrophes can lead to bell-shaped length histograms. Conversely, as already known, non-local probabilities for these events result in exponential length histograms. We also derive master equations for a stabilizing cap and obtain a new boundary condition which provides an explanation of the results obtained in dilution and cutting experiments.
