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

Phragmoplasts, which comprise microtubules, actin filaments, and membrane vesicles, are responsible for cell plate formation and expansion during plant cytokinesis. Our previous research using the actin polymerization inhibitor latrunculin B (LatB) to investigate the role of actin filaments suggested the existence of two types of microtubules: 1) initial microtubules sensitive to LatB but unassociated with NACK1 kinesin and 2) later LatB-insensitive, NACK1-associated microtubules. The organization of initial phragmoplast microtubules might have been disrupted by the LatB treatment; this hypothesis remained unverified, however, as the exact timing of cell plate membrane accumulation could not be determined. In the present study, we further investigated the timing of cell plate formation during LatB treatment. We monitored chromosome separation during anaphase as well as accumulation of FM4-64-stained cell plate membranes in dividing transgenic tobacco BY-2 cells expressing RFP-tagged histone H2B. We observed that LatB treatment prolonged the time between the slowdown of daughter chromosome migration and the accumulation of cell plate membranes. This result suggests that disruption of actin filaments resulted in delayed cell plate formation possibly by perturbation of initial phragmoplast microtubules or cell plate assembly.
