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

Kinetochore proteins, long studied for their role in cell division, are also required for the proper postmitotic development of hippocampal and cortical neurons. Proteins of the kinetochore complex were present in axons and dendrites of postmitotic iNeurons where they resided, at least in part, at microtubule plus ends. Conditional deletion of mouse Ndc80 or Dsn1 increased the number of dendritic spines. Loss of any of three kinetochore components (Ndc80, Dsn1, or Mis12) increased microtubule plus-end dynamics. Observations of individual microtubules in
