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

Intracellular transport is essential for cellular organization and function. This process is driven by molecular motors that ferry cargo along microtubules, but is characterized by intermittent motility, where cargoes switch between directed runs and prolonged pauses. The fundamental nature of these pauses has remained a mystery, specifically whether they are periods of motor detachment and passive drifting or states of active motor engagement. By combining single-particle tracking with large-scale motion analysis, we discovered that pauses are not passive. Instead, they are active, motor-driven states. We uncovered a unifying quantitative law: the diffusivity of a vesicle during a pause scales with the square of its velocity during a run. This parabolic relationship,
