Motile Dendritic Cells Sense and Respond to Substrate Geometry.
Article in Annals of biomedical engineering, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
Dendritic cell (DC) migration is required for efficient presentation of antigen to T cells and the initiation of an adaptive immune response. In spite of its importance, many aspects of DC migration have not been characterized. DCs encounter a variety of environments with different stiffness and geometry, but the effect of these parameters on DC migration has not yet been determined. We addressed this question by comparing DC motility on standard migration surfaces (polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-coated coverslips) and micropost array detectors (mPADs). These two surfaces differ in both stiffness and geometry. We found that DC migration was affected by substrate type, with significant increases in speed and significant decreases in persistence time on mPADs made of PDMS as compared to spin-coated PDMS coverslips. To determine whether the geometry or compliance of the post arrays was responsible for these changes in DC migration, we quantified DC motility on mPADs of identical geometry but different stiffness. Migration was indistinguishable on these mPADs, suggesting that DCs are responsive to geometry of ligand presentation and not stiffness. Further, by micropatterning ligands on flat PDMS surfaces in similar geometries to the mPAD arrays, we determined that DCs respond to the geometry of printed ligand. Finally, we used a variety of small molecule inhibitors to identify pathways involved in geometry sensing. We saw a significant role for myosin contractility and α
