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

Drugs that impair microtubule dynamics alter microtubule-kinetochore attachment and invoke the mitotic checkpoint which arrests cells in mitosis. The arrest can last for hours, but it is leaky: cells adapt (i.e., slip out of it) and exit from mitosis. Here, we investigate the mechanism that allows cells to escape, and whether it is possible to prevent it. Based on a model of the mitotic checkpoint which includes the presence of a positive feedback loop, the escape from the arrest is described as a stochastic transition driven by fluctuations of molecular components from a checkpoint ON to a checkpoint OFF state. According to the model, drug removal further facilitates adaptation, a prediction we confirmed in budding yeast. The model suggests two ways to avoid adaptation: inhibition of APC/C and strengthening the mitotic checkpoint. We confirmed experimentally that both alterations decrease the chance of cells slipping out of mitosis, during a prolonged arrest and after washing out the drug. Our results may be relevant for increasing the efficiency of microtubule depolymerizing drugs.
