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

Eukaryotic cell division has been studied thoroughly and is understood in great mechanistic detail. Paradoxically, however, we lack an understanding of its core control process, in which the master regulator of the cell cycle, cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK), temporally coordinates an array of complex molecular events. The core elements of the CDK control system are conserved in eukaryotic cells, which contain multiple cyclin-CDK forms that have poorly defined and partially overlapping responsibilities in the cell cycle. However, a single CDK can drive all events of cell division in both mammalian and yeast cells, and in fission yeast a single mitotic cyclin can drive the cell cycle without major problems. But how can the same CDK induce different events when activated at different times during the cell cycle? This question, which has bewildered cell cycle researchers for decades, now has a sufficiently clear mechanistic answer. This Perspective aims to provide a synthesis of recent data to facilitate a better understanding of this central cellular control system.
