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 excitable cells of Dictyostelium discoideum show traveling waves of signaling and generate a variety of complex wave forms during their morphogenesis. Important among these wave forms is the 3D spiral or scroll wave, which has been proposed previously to have a twisted variant: the "turbine wave." Herein we argue that a D. discoideum scroll or concentric wave territory containing prespore and prestalk cell types can undergo "dislocation": a wave field that initially controls aggregation of a whole developing population of Dictyostelium cells splits into two. This process leads to discontinuity between two connected domains of wave propagation and to specific phenomena, including high-frequency concentric pacemaker activity by the slime mold's scroll-wave tip. The resulting morphogenetic events reveal a unique mechanism in morphogenesis.
