Mitotic Index Analysis.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Cellular division is a fundamental process of cellular growth. First, cells replicate their DNA in S phase and then undergo mitosis which, under normal conditions, leads to complete cell division. Moreover, mitotic activity correlates to cellular growth activity. The simplest and classical method to measure mitotic activity (mitotic index (MI)), is the manual counting of mitotic cells among a given cell population of interest. The latter can be accomplished via phase contrast microscope observation. However, Giemsa staining may improve accuracy and consistency. Fluorescence immunostaining targeting specific phosphorylations of proteins at critical cell cycle steps will provide further improved analysis via high-throughput capacity of flow or imaging cytometer. Finally, time lapse image analysis provides quantitative and qualitative metrics delineating the process of cellular division including timing of division, duration of mitosis, and failure to procced through or complete mitosis.
