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 eukaryotic cell cycle comprises several processes that must be carefully orchestrated and completed in a timely manner. Alterations in cell cycle dynamics have been linked to the onset of various diseases, underscoring the need for quantitative methods to analyze cell cycle progression. Here we develop RepliFlow, a model-based approach to infer cell cycle dynamics from flow cytometry data of DNA content in asynchronous cell populations. We show that RepliFlow captures not only changes in the length of each cell cycle phase but also alterations in the underlying DNA replication dynamics. RepliFlow is species-agnostic and recapitulates results from more sophisticated analyses based on nucleotide incorporation. Finally, we propose a minimal DNA replication model that enables the derivation of microscopic observables from population-wide DNA content measurements. Our work presents a scalable framework for inferring cell cycle dynamics from flow cytometry data, enabling the characterization of replication programme alterations.
