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

Actin- and fibronectin-like proteins were characterized in the planarian, Dugesia lugubris s.l., by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting analysis using antisera to vertebrate actin and fibronectin. These antisera recognized protein bands of 42 kDa and 220 kDa, respectively. In addition, the immunohistochemical distribution of both actin- and fibronectin-like material was examined by using immuno-electron microscopy. Actin-like protein was localized in myofibrils in various differentiation stages, and in the peripheral cytoplasm and lamellipodia of cells that were migrating. The fibronectin-like component was associated with the extracellular matrix in the fibrillar structures and with the surface of the migrating cells. Our data suggest that similar cellular and molecular mechanisms are involved in cell-matrix interactions and in the morphogenesis of living organisms at different evolutionary levels.
