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

Fish epidermal keratocytes provide a powerful model system for investigating cell motility due to their rapid, persistent migration and stable morphology. While single-cell dynamics have been extensively characterized, recent studies have increasingly focused on collective migration. Because keratocytes cannot be maintained as continuous cell lines, experiments rely on primary cultures derived from fish scales. This chapter presents optimized protocols for culturing primary keratocytes, transiently introducing fluorescent probes using a custom electroporation system and performing high-resolution three-dimensional time-lapse imaging with confocal microscopy. These procedures enable visualization of dynamic molecular and cellular behaviors in both single-cell and collective migration contexts.
