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 transmission of genetic information during cell division requires attachment of chromosomes to the mitotic spindle via the kinetochore. In vitro reconstitution studies are beginning to uncover how the kinetochore is assembled upon the underlying centromere, how the kinetochore couples chromosome movement to microtubule dynamics, and how cells ensure the site of kinetochore assembly is maintained from one generation to the next. Here we give special emphasis to advances made in Xenopus egg extract, which provides a unique, biochemically tractable in vitro system that affords the complexity of cytoplasm and nucleoplasm to permit reconstitution of the dynamic, cell cycle-regulated functions of the centromere and kinetochore.
