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 kinetochore, critical for accurate chromosome segregation and genome stability in eukaryotes, comprises the Constitutive Centromere Associated Network (CCAN) and the KMN network. In animals, the CCAN associates with centromeric nucleosomes throughout the cell cycle, while the KMN network assembles at kinetochores during M phase, binding spindle microtubules and serving as a platform for the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) complex. Despite conserved functions, kinetochore components vary across organisms. In this study, we investigated the subcellular localization and interaction maps of core kinetochore components in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). Of the four conserved CCAN components, we found that only Centromere protein C (CENP-C) localizes to kinetochores, while all KMN components consistently localize to the kinetochore throughout the cell cycle. Immunoprecipitation assays revealed interactions between core kinetochore proteins and regulators involved in DNA replication, histone modification, and chromatin remodeling, suggesting that the kinetochore may also function outside of M phase. Examining interactions between kinetochore and SAC components allowed us to elucidate plant-specific SAC localization mechanisms, providing a functional framework for understanding plant kinetochores and offering insights into SAC regulation in plants.
