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

Animal tissues exist within a continuum of fluid to solid states, and transitions between states are important for embryonic development, wound healing and cancer metastasis. Fluid-to-solid transitions are governed by the ratio of adhesive energy to kinetic energy. Here, we find that presomitic mesoderm solidification is driven by an intrinsic decline in cell speed along with an increase in adhesion mediated by Cadherin 2 in parallel with fibronectin and its receptor Integrin α5. A computational model of cell-cell adhesion in the central tissue mesenchyme and cell-ECM adhesion on the tissue surface explains the observed phenotypes. Further, we identify negative feedback within the ECM as fibronectin supports the formation of a separate layer of Fibrillin 2b matrix that inhibits solidification. These data reveal a tissue fluidity code in which solidification is promoted by cadherins in parallel with Integrin α5 and fibronectin, whereas negative feedback through Fibrillin 2b promotes fluidization.
