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

The polarization of the Golgi has long been thought to be important for cell migration. Here we show that Rat2 cells at the edge of an artificial wound repolarize the Golgi relative to the nucleus to face the direction of migration into the wound. However, in the absence of cues from neighboring cells, individual cells do not display Golgi polarity relative to the direction in which they are moving. Instead, the positioning of the Golgi relative to the nucleus remains relatively constant over time and does not reflect changes in the direction of migration. Consistent with this observation, we observe only a slight bias in Golgi positioning to the front of the nucleus, and this bias is not higher during periods of time when the cell is moving in a persistent manner. Taken together, these data suggest that Golgi polarity is not a requirement for cell migration.
