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

Cellular identity as defined through morphology and function emerges from intracellular signaling networks that communicate between cells. Based on recursive interactions within and among these intracellular networks, dynamical solutions in terms of biochemical behavior are generated that can differ from those in isolated cells. In this way, cellular heterogeneity in tissues can be established, implying that cell identity is not intrinsically predetermined by the genetic code but is rather dynamically maintained in a cognitive manner. We address how to experimentally measure the flow of information in intracellular biochemical networks and demonstrate that even simple causality motifs can give rise to rich, context-dependent dynamic behavior. The concept how intercellular communication can result in novel dynamical solutions is applied to provide a contextual perspective on cell differentiation and tumorigenesis.
