Quantification of Engagement of Microtubules by Small Molecules in Living Cells by Flow Cytometry.
Article in ACS bio & med chem Au, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Drugs such as paclitaxel (Taxol) that bind microtubules are widely used for the treatment of cancer. Measurements of the affinity and selectivity of these compounds for their targets are largely based on studies of purified proteins, and only a few quantitative methods for the analysis of interactions of small molecules with microtubules in living cells have been reported. We describe here a novel method for rapidly quantifying the affinities of compounds that bind polymerized tubulin in living HeLa cells. This method uses the fluorescent molecular probe Pacific Blue-GABA-Taxol in conjunction with verapamil to block cellular efflux. Under physiologically relevant conditions of 37 °C, this combination allowed quantification of equilibrium saturation binding of this probe to cellular microtubules (
