Manipulation of Spindle Position Using Magnetic Tweezers in Sea Urchin Embryos.

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 regulation of mitotic spindle position and orientation, and consequent division plane specification, is critical for early embryo development, tissue architecture and stem cells. Accordingly, defects in spindle positioning have been associated with the emergence of tissue disorders and mis-specification of cell fates, causing the formation of tumors, for instance, in stem cell populations. In such context, methods to physically manipulate mitotic spindle position or orientation in living cells bear the promise of dissecting the causal impact of spindle mis-positioning on cell or tissue behavior. Here, we describe a method to directly modulate mitotic spindle position and orientation with in vivo magnetic tweezers in developing sea urchin embryos. This method allows for monitoring the impact of spindle orientation on embryo development and quantifying forces and torques needed to move or rotate spindles. It may be transposable to many other cell, embryo or tissue types.
