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 competition is often categorized into mechanical competition, during which loser cell elimination is induced by long-range mechanical effects, and biochemical competition, during which loser cell elimination results from direct cell-cell contacts. Before confluence, proliferation of winner cells has often been hypothesized to govern competition. Conversely, elimination of loser cells is thought to induce cell proliferation in its vicinity. However, causality is challenging to establish. To address this, we compute spatiotemporal signatures of competitive interactions using K-function clustering analysis. For this, we acquire long-term time lapses of two examples of mechanical (Scr
