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

Cell migration occurs throughout development, tissue homeostasis and regeneration, as well as in diseases such as cancer. Cells migrate along two-dimensional (2D) surfaces or interfaces, within microtracks, or in confining three-dimensional (3D) extracellular matrices. Although the basic mechanisms of 2D migration are known, recent studies have elucidated unexpected migration behaviors associated with more complex substrates and have provided insights into their underlying molecular mechanisms. Studies using engineered biomaterials for 3D culture and microfabricated channels to replicate cell confinement observed in vivo have revealed distinct modes of migration. Across these contexts, the mechanical features of the surrounding microenvironment have emerged as major regulators of migration. In this Cell Science at a Glance article and the accompanying poster, we describe physiological contexts wherein 2D and 3D cell migration are essential, report how mechanical properties of the microenvironment regulate individual and collective cell migration, and review the mechanisms mediating these diverse modes of cell migration.
