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

Many complex cellular processes involve major changes in topology and geometry. We have developed a method using topology-based geometric modelling in which the edge labels of an n-dimensional generalized map (a subclass of graphs) represent the relations between neighbouring biological compartments. We illustrate our method using two topological models of the Golgi apparatus. These models can be animated using transformation rules, which depend on geometric and/or biochemical data and which modify both these data and the topology. Both models constitute plausible topological representations of the Golgi apparatus, but only the model based on a recent hypothesis about the Golgi apparatus is fully compatible with data from electron microscopy. Finally, we outline how our method may help biologists to choose between different hypotheses.
