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

Recent findings identify a cell-death mechanism in human cancer cells, based on the inhibition of the post-translational modification of NuMA (nuclear mitotic apparatus protein) in cancer cells, which interferes with its protein-binding capacity. NuMA is an indispensable protein for mitosis in both malignant and healthy cells. However, in this cell-death mechanism, only malignant cells are eradicated, due to structural faults inserted in the mitotic spindle poles, causing mitosis arrest. Cell death is imposed in the cancer cells by mitosis arrest, disregarding their mutations.
