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

Cells exist within a complex tissue microenvironment, which includes soluble factors, extracellular matrix molecules, and neighboring cells. In the breast, the adhesive microenvironment plays a crucial role in driving both normal mammary gland development as well tumor initiation and progression. Researchers are designing increasingly more complex ways to mimic the in vivo microenvironment in an in vitro setting, so that cells in culture may serve as model systems for tissue structures. Here, we explore the use of microfabrication technologies to engineer the adhesive microenvironment of cells in culture. These new tools permit the culture of cells on well-defined surface chemistries, patterning of cells into defined geometries either alone or in coculture scenarios, and measurement of forces associated with cell-ECM interactions. When applied to questions in mammary gland development and neoplasia, these new tools will enable a better understanding of how adhesive, structural, and mechanical cues regulate mammary epithelial biology.
