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

Cilia are specialized cellular organelles that are united in structure and implicated in diverse key life processes across eukaryotes. In both unicellular and multicellular organisms, variations on the same ancestral form mediate sensing, locomotion and the production of physiological flows. As we usher in a new, more interdisciplinary era, the way we study cilia is changing. This special theme issue brings together biologists, biophysicists and mathematicians to highlight the remarkable range of systems in which motile cilia fulfil vital functions, and to inspire and define novel strategies for future research. This article is part of the Theo Murphy meeting issue 'Unity and diversity of cilia in locomotion and transport'.
