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

Kinetochores that are not attached to microtubules prevent chromosome missegregation via the spindle assembly checkpoint. We show that they also promote their own capturing. Similar to what governs the localization of spindle assembly checkpoint proteins, the phosphorylation of Spc105 by Mps1 allows unattached kinetochores to sequester Stu1 in cooperation with Slk19. The withdrawal of Stu1, a CLASP essential for spindle integrity, from microtubules and attached kinetochores disrupts the organization of the spindle and thus allows the enhanced formation of dynamic random microtubules that span the nucleus and are ideal to capture unattached kinetochores. The enhanced formation of nuclear random microtubules does not occur if Stu1 sequestering to unattached kinetochores fails and the spindle remains uncompromised. Consequently, these cells exhibit a severely decreased capturing efficiency. After the capturing event, Stu1 is relocated to the capturing microtubule and prevents precocious microtubule depolymerization as long as kinetochores are laterally or incompletely end-on attached.
