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

Kinesin-5 motor proteins are essential for mitotic spindle formation and maintenance, ensuring accurate chromosome segregation. Human kinesin-5 is highly expressed in various cancer cells but not in nonproliferative tissues; therefore, it is expected to be an attractive target for cancer chemotherapy, with fewer adverse side effects. Many inhibitors have been developed and subjected to clinical trials; however, they have not yet been commercially distributed because of their poor efficacy and frequent drug resistance. Establishing in vivo assay systems to easily monitor inhibitory activity is necessary and valuable to develop more effective inhibitors. Here, we report a procedure to evaluate the inhibitory activity against human kinesin-5 using a fission yeast-based system called "in schizo". Our approach could further be used to screen for inhibitors against kinesin-5 and other human cancer-related targets.
