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

The suitability of the quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) technique for monitoring the attachment and spreading of mammalian cells has recently been established. Different cell species were shown to generate an individual response of the QCM when they make contact with the resonator surface. Little is known, however, about the underlying mechanisms that determine the QCM signal for a particular cell type. Here we describe our results for different experimental approaches designed to probe the particular contributions of various subcellular compartments to the overall QCM signal. Using AC impedance analysis in a frequency range that closely embraces the resonators' fundamental frequency, we have explored the signal contribution of the extracellular matrix, the actin cytoskeleton, the medium that overlays the cell layer, as well as the liquid compartment that is known to exist between the basal plasma membrane and the culture substrate. Results indicate that the QCM technique is only sensitive to those parts of the cellular body that are involved in cell substrate adhesion and are therefore close to the resonator surface. Because of its noninvasive nature, sensitivity, and time resolution, the QCM is a powerful means of quantitatively studying various aspects of cell-substrate interactions.
