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

Faithful chromosome segregation, during meiosis, is of critical importance to prevent aneuploidy in the resulting embryo. In mammalian oocytes, the segregation of homologous chromosomes takes place with the spindle located at the cell's periphery. The spindle is often assembled close to the centre of the cell, which necessitates the actin network for spindle transport to the cell cortex. In this study, we investigate how the segregation of chromosomes is coordinated with the positioning of the metaphase I spindle. We develop different assays to perturb the spindle's position and to delay its relocation to the cell periphery. We find that anaphase is delayed until the spindle is positioned in close proximity with the oocyte cortex. We further show that the metaphase arrest is dependent on a functional actin network, in addition to the spindle assembly checkpoint. Our work provides the first evidence for the existence of a functional spindle position checkpoint.
