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 primary event in the movement of a migrating eukaryotic cell is the extension of cytoplasmic sheets termed lamellipodia composed of networks of actin filaments. Lamellipodia networks are thought to arise through the branching of new filaments from the sides of old filaments, producing a dendritic array. Recent studies by electron tomography have revealed the three dimensional organization of lamellipodia and show, contrary to previous evidence, that actin filaments do not form dendritic arrays in vivo. These findings signal a reconsideration of the structural basis of protrusion and about the roles of the different actin nucleating and elongating complexes involved in the process.
