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

As a step in the development of a system for assessing growth of human urothelium and transitional cell carcinoma, the growth of two established cell lines on collagen-based membranes has been evaluated. HT1080 (metastatic human fibrosarcoma) and WI38 VA13 (virus-transformed human fibroblasts) were grown on substrates of collagen, collagen/hyaluronic acid or chondroitin sulphate and reconstituted basement membrane (Matrigel). Cell growth was quantified using a new fluorimetric assay utilizing carboxyfluorescein diacetate. There were differences in morphology between cells grown on collagen and those grown on polystyrene. There were, however, no differences in growth of the WI38 VA13 cells on collagen compared with polystyrene, but growth of the HT1080 cells was increased on membranes of collagen/2.5% hyaluronic acid and collagen/5% chondroitin sulphate, and decreased on Matrigel. Adequate growth on collagen substrates is dependent on cell line. The fluorimetric assay used was suitable for quantifying cell growth on such substrates.
