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

PtK1 cells containing two independent mitotic spindles can cleave between neighboring centrosomes, in the absence of an intervening spindle, as well as at the spindle equators. We used same-cell video, immunofluorescence, and electron microscopy to compare the structure and composition of normal equatorial furrows with that of ectopic furrows formed between spindles. As in controls, ectopic furrows contained midbodies composed of microtubule bundles and an electron-opaque matrix. Despite the absence of an intervening spindle and chromosomes, the midbodies associated with ectopic furrows also contained the microtubule-bundling protein CHO1 and the chromosomal passenger protein INCENP. However, CENP-E, another passenger protein, was not found in ectopic furrows but was always present in controls. We also examined cells in which the ectopic furrow initiated but relaxed. Although relaxing furrows contained overlapping microtubules from opposing centrosomes, they lacked microtubule bundles as well as INCENP and CHO1. Together these data suggest that the mechanism defining the site of furrow formation during mitosis in vertebrates does not depend on the presence of underlying microtubule bundles and chromosomes or on the stable association of INCENP or CHO1. The data also suggest that the completion of cytokinesis requires the presence of microtubule bundles and specific proteins (e.g., INCENP, CHO1, etc.) that do not include CENP-E.
