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 importance of mechanical signals during embryogenesis and development, through both intercellular and extracellular signals, is coming into focus. It is widely hypothesized that physical forces help to guide the shape, cellular differentiation and the patterning of tissues. To test these ideas many classical engineering principles and imaging technologies are being adapted. Recent advances in microscopy, mechanical testing and genetic and pharmacological techniques, alongside computational models are helping to dissect the activity of mechanical signals in development at the cellular and molecular level. These inroads are providing maps of mechanical changes in tissue structure and stiffness, and will permit deeper insights into the role of mechanics in both developmental biology and disease.
