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

Maintaining genomic integrity throughout successive cell divisions is essential for the proper development and functioning of organisms. Chromosome alignment and segregation occur on a microtubule-based spindle originating from centrosomes. The molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in accurate chromosome segregation during early embryonic divisions are highly conserved between worms and humans. Therefore, C. elegans serves as a robust model for investigating mitotic cell divisions within a metazoan system. Throughout early embryonic development, filming and tracking successive cell divisions becomes progressively more challenging as the number of cells increases and cell size decreases. To address this challenge, we describe a method for preparing live samples, performing 4D time-lapse imaging, and semi-automated tracking of chromosomes and spindle poles during early mitotic divisions in C. elegans embryos.
