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

Aneuploidy is a widespread feature of malignant tumors that arises through persistent chromosome mis-segregation in mitosis associated with a pathological condition called chromosomal instability, or CIN. Since CIN is known to have a causal relationship with poor prognosis accompanying by multi-drug resistance, tumor relapse, and metastasis, many research groups have endeavored to understand the mechanisms underlying CIN. In this review, we overview possible etiologies of CIN. The key processes to achieve faithful chromosome segregation include the regulation of sister chromatid cohesion, kinetochore-microtubule attachment, bipolar spindle formation, spindle-assembly checkpoint, and the activity of separase. Aberrant chromosome structures during DNA replication might also be a potential cause of CIN. Defective regulation in these processes can lead to chromosome mis-segregation, manifested by lagging chromosomes, and DNA bridges in anaphase, leading to gross chromosome rearrangements. Investigation into the molecular etiologies of CIN should allow us to explore novel strategies to intervene in CIN to control cancers.
