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

Here, we investigate how a subpopulation of cells can move through an aggregate of cells. Using a stochastic force-based model of Dictyostelium discoideum when the population is forming a slug, we simulate different strategies for prestalk cells to reliably move to the front of the slug while omitting interaction with the substrate thus ignoring the overall motion of the slug. Of the mechanisms that we simulated, prestalk cells being more directed is the best strategy followed by increased asymmetric motive forces for prestalk cells. The lifetime of the cell adhesion molecules, while not enough to produce differential motion, did modulate the results of the strategies employed. Finally, understanding and simulating the appropriate boundary conditions are essential to correctly predict the motion.
