The midbody and midbody remnant: from cellular debris to signaling organelle with diagnostic and therapeutic potential.
Review in Molecular biology of the cell, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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 midbody (MB), a transient structure formed during cytokinesis, has evolved from a mere structural component to a complex signaling organelle with diverse functions beyond cell division. Recent studies have revealed that jettisoned MB remnants (MBR) play crucial roles in intercellular communication, influencing cell fate decisions, particularly in stem cells and cancer. MBRs act as large extracellular vesicles, transferring functional RNA and proteins that modulate cell behavior, including proliferation and cancer progression. The protein KIF23, associated with MBs, is a pan-cancer marker, underscoring the clinical relevance of MB research. This review highlights the emerging significance of MBs and MBRs in cancer biology, neurobiology, and regenerative medicine, offering new avenues for diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. By reshaping our understanding of cell division and intercellular communication, these findings open exciting frontiers in cell biology with huge potential for diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
