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

Visualizing the ultrastructure of mitotic spindles, the macromolecular machines that segregate chromosomes during mitosis, by fluorescence imaging remains challenging. Here we introduce an azido- and amino-functionalized docetaxel probe, which upon labeling of microtubules can be fixed, click-labeled and linked into hydrogels. The new probe is particularly useful for super-resolution imaging of dense microtubule structures in mitotic spindles. Multicolor expansion microscopy of mitotic cells allowed us to visualize the different phases of mitosis with unprecedented spatial resolution.
