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

Amoeboid cells such as leukocytes can enter and migrate in diverse tissues, even though tissues vary widely in their chemical and mechanical composition. Here, we imaged motile T cells as they colonized peripheral tissues during zebrafish development to determine whether cells tailor their migration strategy to their local tissue environment. We found that T cells in most sites migrated with F-actin-rich, leading-edge pseudopods, matching how they migrate in vitro. T cells notably deviated from this strategy in the epidermis, where they instead migrated using a rearward concentration of F-actin and stable leading-edge blebs. This mode of migration occurs under planar confinement in vitro, and we found that the stratified keratinocyte layers of the epidermis also impose planar-like confinement on leukocytes in vivo. Collectively, our data indicate that immune cells adapt their migration strategy to navigate different tissue geometries in vivo.
