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

Mitotic kinesins play essential roles during mitotic spindle assembly and in ensuring proper chromosome segregation. Chemical inhibitors of mitotic kinesins are therefore valuable tools to study kinesin function in vitro and in cells. Because cancer is a disease of unregulated cell division, inhibitors also represent potential chemotherapeutic agents. Here, we present assays that can be used to evaluate the potency and specificity of mitotic kinesin inhibitors identified from high-throughput screening. By evaluating their effects in a variety of in vitro, fixed-cell, and live cell assays, screening hits can be prioritized and optimized to produce effective, on-target inhibitors.
