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 positioning and movement of the nucleus has recently emerged as an important aspect of cell migration. Understanding of nuclear positioning and movement has reached an apogee in studies of fibroblast migration. Specific nuclear positioning and movements have been described in the polarization of fibroblast for cell migration and in active migration in 2D and 3D environments. Here, we review recent studies that have uncovered novel molecular mechanisms that contribute to these events in fibroblasts. Many of these involve a connection between the nucleus and the cytoskeleton through the LINC complex composed of outer nuclear membrane nesprins and inner nuclear membrane SUN proteins. We consider evidence that appropriate nuclear positioning contributes to efficient fibroblast polarization and migration and the possible mechanism through which the nucleus affects cell migration.
