Unbiased segregation of yeast chromatids in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

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
The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is characterized by asymmetric cell division and the asymmetric inheritance of spindle components during normal vegetative growth and during certain specialized cell divisions. There has been a longstanding interest in the possibility that yeast chromosomes segregate non-randomly during mitosis and that some of the differences between mother and daughter cells could be explained by selective chromatid segregation. This review traces the history of the experiments to determine if there is biased chromatid segregation in yeast. The special aspects of spindle morphogenesis and behavior in yeast that could accommodate a mechanism for biased segregation are discussed. Finally, a recent experiment demonstrated that yeast chromatids segregate randomly without mother-daughter bias in a common laboratory strain grown under routine laboratory conditions.
