LamelliQuant: An Automated Analysis Pipeline for Lamellipodia Protrusion Dynamics.
Article in Cytoskeleton (Hoboken, N.J.), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We developed LamelliQuant, an automated image analysis pipeline for quantifying lamellipodial protrusion and retraction dynamics from time-lapse microscopy of migrating cells. The workflow begins with the generation of kymographs along user-defined lines across lamellipodia, capturing edge motion over time. An image analysis algorithm extracts the cell edge trajectory and applies LOESS smoothing combined with peak detection to identify cycles of protrusion and retraction. LamelliQuant integrates ImageJ for image processing (movie import, ROI selection, kymograph generation) and R for quantitative analysis (smoothing and event detection), with user-adjustable parameters throughout to enable customization. We validated the pipeline by comparing automated measurements to manual tracking, demonstrating strong concordance and the ability to reproduce published results. LamelliQuant offers a robust, high-throughput alternative to manual kymograph analysis for investigating lamellipodia and membrane protrusion dynamics.
