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

Centrioles are essential for forming cilia, flagella and centrosomes. Successful centriole assembly requires proteins of the SAS-6 family, which can form oligomeric ring structures with ninefold symmetry in vitro. While important progress has been made in understanding SAS-6 protein biophysics, the mechanisms enabling ring formation in vivo remain elusive. Likewise, the mechanisms by which a nascent centriole forms near-orthogonal to an existing one are not known. Here, we investigate possible mechanisms of centriole assembly using coarse-grained Brownian dynamics computer simulations in combination with a rate equation approach. Our results suggest that without any external factors, strong stabilization associated with ring closure would be needed to enable efficient ring formation. Strikingly, our simulations reveal that a scaffold-assisted assembly mechanism can trigger robust ring formation owing to local cooperativity, and that this mechanism can also impart orthogonalilty to centriole assembly. Overall, our findings provide novel insights into the organizing principles governing the assembly of this important organelle.
