Viscous damping of vibrations in microtubules.
Article in Journal of biological physics, 2000. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Pokorný et al. have recently suggested that metabolic processes drivemicrotubules in a cell to vibrate at Megahertz frequencies, but the theorydoes not explicitly consider dissipative effects which will tend to damp outthe vibrations. To examine the effects of viscous damping on the structure,we determine viscous forces and rate of energy loss in a cylinderundergoing longitudinal oscillations in water. A nondimensional expressionis obtained for the viscous drag on the cylinder. When applied to amicrotubule, the results indicate that viscous damping is several orders ofmagnitude too large to allow resonant vibrations.
