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
Visualization of specific molecules and their assembly in real time and space is essential to delineate how cellular dynamics and signaling circuit are orchestrated during cell division cycle. Our recent studies reveal structural insights into human centromere-kinetochore core CCAN complex. Here we introduce a method for optically imaging trimeric and tetrameric protein interactions at nanometer spatial resolution in live cells using fluorescence complementation-based Förster resonance energy transfer (FC-FRET). Complementary fluorescent protein molecules were first used to visualize dimerization followed by FRET measurements. Using FC-FRET, we visualized centromere CENP-SXTW tetramer assembly dynamics in live cells, and dimeric interactions between CENP-TW dimer and kinetochore protein Spc24/25 dimer in dividing cells. We further delineated the interactions of monomeric CENP-T with Spc24/25 dimer in dividing cells. Surprisingly, our analyses revealed critical role of CDK1 kinase activity in the initial recruitment of Spc24/25 by CENP-T. However, interactions between CENP-T and Spc24/25 during chromosome segregation is independent of CDK1. Thus, FC-FRET provides a unique approach to delineate spatiotemporal dynamics of trimerized and tetramerized proteins at nanometer scale and establishes a platform to report the precise regulation of multimeric protein interactions in space and time in live cells.
