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

Three forms of cell adhesion determine the life cycle of Dictyostelium: i) adhesion of bacteria to the surface of the growing amoebae, as the prerequisite for phagocytosis; ii) cell-substrate adhesion, necessary for both locomotion of the amoebae and migration of the slug; iii) cell-cell adhesion, essential for transition from the unicellular to the multicellular stage. Intercellular adhesion has received the most attention, and fruitful approaches have been developed over the past 25 years to identify, purify and characterize cell adhesion molecules. The csA glycoprotein, in particular, which mediates adhesion during the aggregation stage, is one of the best defined cell adhesion molecules. The molecular components involved in phagocytosis and cell-substratum adhesion are less well understood, but the basis has been laid for a systematic investigation of both topics in the near future.
