A Centrifuge Polarizing Microscope (CPM) That Enables the Visualization of Intracellular Structures Under High Centrifugal Forces.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The mitotic spindle consists of aligned filaments of dynamic microtubules that faithfully segregate mitotic chromosomes. This view of the mitotic spindle was initially established by detecting weak birefringence of the aligned filaments, which was realized by developing polarized light microscopy (Inoué S, Chromosoma 5:487-500. https://doi.org/10.1007/bf01271498 , 1953). Inoué et al. developed a centrifuge polarizing microscope (CPM) (Inoué S et al., J Microsc 201:341-356. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-2818.2001.00850.x , 2001; Inoué S et al., Centrifuge microscope capable of realizing polarized light observation (US Patent: US1907803A), 1999) to further understand the structural and physical basis of the functional positioning of centrosome-based structures (including the mitotic spindle) inside living cells. This chapter describes the procedure for observing biological specimens using CPM by focusing on Caenorhabditis elegans embryos.
