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

Cytoplasmic streaming is the bulk flow of cytoplasm observed, not only in plants but also in animal oocytes and embryos. The flow of viscous fluid within the cytoplasm generates forces that re-arrange intracellular organelles, such as mitotic spindles and nuclei, to regulate cell growth, migration, and polarity. Cytoplasmic streaming is established by motor proteins and the viscoelastic cytoskeleton, including the actin filaments and microtubules. The mode of action can be changed in response to cell fate and developmental stage; however, its regulatory mechanism is unclear. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is a valuable model organism for analyzing cytoplasmic streaming because actin- and microtubule-dependent flows occur during oogenesis and embryogenesis, respectively. In this chapter, we describe methods for visualizing and quantitatively analyzing cytoplasmic streaming in C. elegans oocytes and embryos.
