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

Results from live-cell microscopy suggest that the behaviour of isolated components of the T-cell activation machinery in vitro does not represent the reality inside cells. Understanding the cellular-scale dynamics of microcluster migration can only be accomplished by in situ observation. Developments in 'super-resolution' microscopy have permitted investigators to move beyond tracking the movements of individual molecules, allowing the recognition of protein islands and nanodomains present in quiescent and active T cells. Many high-resolution techniques have their own susceptibilities to artefacts, so it is important to take a multifaceted approach to confirm results. A major challenge for the future will be to integrate all the new information into a coherent model of antigen recognition and T-cell activation.
