The Janus soul of centrosomes: a paradoxical role in disease?
Review in Chromosome research : an international journal on the molecular, supramolecular and evolutionary aspects of chromosome biology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The centrosome is the main microtubule organizing center of animal cells. It contributes to spindle assembly and orientation during mitosis and to ciliogenesis in interphase. Numerical and structural defects in this organelle are known to be associated with developmental disorders such as dwarfism and microcephaly, but only recently, the molecular mechanisms linking centrosome aberrations to altered physiology are being elucidated. Defects in centrosome number or structure have also been described in cancer. These opposite clinical outcomes--arising from reduced proliferation and overproliferation respectively--can be explained in light of the tissue- and developmental-specific requirements for centrosome functions. The pathological outcomes of centrosome deficiencies have become clearer when considering its consequences. Among them, there are genetic instability (mainly aneuploidy, a defect in chromosome number), defects in the symmetry of cell division (important for cell fate specification and tissue architecture) and impaired ciliogenesis. In this review, we discuss the origins and the consequences of centrosome flaws, with particular attention on how they contribute to developmental diseases.
