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

Asymmetric cell division is used by stem cells to create diverse cell types while self-renewing the stem cell population. Biased segregation of molecularly distinct centrosomes could provide a mechanism to maintain stem cell fate, induce cell differentiation or both. However, the molecular mechanisms generating molecular and functional asymmetric centrosomes remain incompletely understood. Here, we show that in asymmetrically dividing fly neural stem cells, protein phosphatase 4 (Pp4) is necessary for correct centrosome asymmetry establishment during mitosis, and microtubule organizing center (MTOC) maintenance in interphase. Using in vivo live-cell imaging, we show that while wild-type neural stem cells always maintain one active MTOC,
