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

Anti-tubulin drugs are life-saving chemotherapeutics that kill cancer cells by stabilizing or disrupting microtubules. Despite their clinical utility, the molecular mechanisms by which anti-tubulins cause apoptotic cell death remain poorly understood. It is now shown that microtubule disruption can inhibit anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins through an evolutionarily conserved signalling axis involving DEPDC1 (LET-99 in Caenorhabditis elegans) and JNK.
