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

A new migration assay, the time-lapse individual cell migration assay (TIM-assay), was developed, which allows the observation of cells over 24 h under controlled conditions. Using this technique, the migratory behavior of 8 human glioblastoma cell lines in vitro was studied. Special features are simultaneous documentation of migratory parameters of individual cells, i.e., migration velocities and migration paths of individual cells. Migration velocity for cell populations of the same cell line ranged from 0 to 24 microm/h. The migration paths were examined for being directional. Two thirds of all cells showed directional migration. Migration paths were further classified according to visual judgements for being linear, oscillating or mixed. The migration index had a mean of 91%. The presented TIM-assay allows the assessment of several new parameters. that may be useful to identify subgroups of gliomas with different biological characteristics.
