On the elasticity of cytoskeletal networks.
Article in Biophysical journal, 1988. 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
Models relating to the gelation and elasticity of complex cytoskeletal networks are formulated and investigated. Kinetic equations for reversible elongation of nucleated actin filaments are analyzed when the filaments are acted upon by capping proteins and cross-linking factors. Analytical expressions are obtained that relate the low frequency elastic shear modulus of a network, G, to chain growth kinetics, the number of nucleation sites, monomer concentration, and the amount of capping and cross-linking protein. Elasticity curves that relate G to such factors as the association constant for cross-linking are derived and then used to determine solation-gelation phase contours.
