Ends and middle: Global force balance and septum location in fission yeast.
Article in The European physical journal. E, Soft matter, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
The fission yeast cell is shaped as a very regular cylinder ending by hemi-spheres at both cell ends. Its conserved phenotypes are often used as read-outs for classifying interacting genes and protein networks. Using Pascal and Young-Laplace laws, we proposed a framework where scaling arguments predicted shapes. Here we probed quantitatively one of these relations which predicts that the division site would be located closer to the cell end with the larger radius of curvature. By combining genetics and quantitative imaging, we tested experimentally whether altered shapes of cell end correlate with a displaced division site, leading to asymmetric cell division. Our results show that the division site position depends on the radii of curvatures of both ends. This new geometrical mechanism for the proper division plane positioning could be essential to achieve even partitioning of cellular material at each cell division.
