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

The branching of new blood vessels by angiogenesis is critical to the development, growth, and repair of most vertebrate tissues and is frequently dysregulated in disease. At its core, angiogenesis is driven by the collective migration of leading "tip" and follower "stalk" endothelial cells. Recent work reveals that this collective movement is coordinated by asymmetric tip cell divisions that generate daughters of distinct size, signaling capacity and tip-stalk behaviors. Polarized mitotic spindle positioning is critical to generating such asymmetries in daughter cell size. However, the spatiotemporal dynamics of vertebrate spindle movement are often difficult to explore using in vivo systems. Here we describe a method for the sample preparation, live-imaging and data analysis of endothelial cell mitotic spindle positioning in developing zebrafish embryos. This method enables single-cell and population-level spindle dynamics to be monitored and quantified, both in wild-type or genetically/pharmacologically perturbed embryos. Moreover, this approach can be easily adapted for live imaging of spindle dynamics in other zebrafish embryonic tissues that experience similar asymmetric divisions, such as the trunk neural crest.
