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

Dictyostelium transformants that overproduce the extracellular form of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase and so accumulate a reduced amount of cAMP are blocked in development after aggregation in the form of a tight mound, prior to formation of the apical tip. In such mounds, prespore cell differentiation is repressed, and the apical accumulation of prestalk cells is greatly retarded. When a source of cAMP is placed below the arrested mounds, prestalk cells that would normally migrate in an apical direction instead sort downwards to the substratum. Thus, by acting as the chemoattractant that draws prestalk cells to the apex, cAMP signaling directs the formation of a patterned structure.
