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

Chromosome segregation relies on forces generated by spindle microtubules that are translated into chromosome movement through interactions with kinetochores, highly conserved macromolecular machines that assemble on a specialized centromeric chromatin structure. Kinetochores not only have to stably attach to growing and shrinking microtubules, but they also need to recruit spindle assembly checkpoint proteins to halt cell cycle progression when there are attachment defects. Even the simplest kinetochore in budding yeast contains more than 50 unique components that are present in multiple copies, totaling more than 250 proteins in a single kinetochore. The complex nature of kinetochores makes it challenging to elucidate the contributions of individual components to its various functions. In addition, it is difficult to manipulate forces in vivo to understand how they regulate kinetochore-microtubule attachments and the checkpoint. To address these issues, we developed a technique to purify kinetochores from budding yeast that can be used to analyze kinetochore functions and composition as well as to reconstitute kinetochore-microtubule attachments in vitro.
