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 disruption of tissue epithelial architecture is thought to be involved in the initiation of cancer; however, little is known about the cell biology of early neoplastic lesions. Computational models can facilitate in the study of early cancer stagesby simulating different scenarios of tumour inception and by testing in silico the influence of various intrinsic and extrinsic factors on the emerging multicellular morphologies. Here, we have used a computational model to create 3D morphocharts, collections of multicellular morphologies arising from systematic modification of three model parameters defining cell sensitivity to external cues for cell growth, death and adhesion to the extracellular matrix. This systematic search revealed the ranges of parameter values for which robust epithelial structures formed and those that led to abnormal geometrical forms resembling tumour-like morphologies. We also showed how our model can be used to map morphologies of experimental multicellular systems onto their in silico counterpart via the cell sensitivity parameter space that may in turn allow us to identify genetic or epigenetic changes responsible for these morphological distortions.
