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

We study kinetic models for chemotaxis, incorporating the ability of cells to assess temporal changes of the chemoattractant concentration as well as its spatial variations. For prescribed smooth chemoattractant density, the macroscopic limit is carried out rigorously. It leads to a drift equation with a chemotactic sensitivity depending on the time derivative of the chemoattractant density. As an application it is shown by numerical experiments that the new model can resolve the chemotactic wave paradox. For this purpose, the macroscopic equation is coupled to a simple activation-inhibition model for the chemoattractant which produces the chemoattractant waves typical for the slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum.
