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

Cell cycle progression, or its arrest upon checkpoint activation, is directed by a complex array of cellular processes dependent on the diffusion of chemical signals. These signals regulate the onset of each cell cycle phase and prevent undesired phase transitions. Functional complementation is a robust strategy to identify such signals, by which mutant phenotypes are rescued through complementation with candidate factors. Here we describe a method that reclaims a five-decade old mammalian cell-cell fusion strategy of functional complementation to study the molecular control of cell cycle progression. The generation of cell-cell fusions (heterokaryons) allows for the analysis, via immunofluorescence, of cell cycle regulator dynamics and evaluating the effective rescue of cell cycle progression in specific genetic settings.
