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 conformation of single laminin molecules adsorbed on synthetic substrates is directly observed making use of the phase magnitude in tapping mode atomic force microscopy (AFM). With AFM, it is not possible to differentiate the proteins on the substrate if use is made of the height signal, since the roughness of the material becomes of the same order of magnitude as the adsorbed protein, typically 10 nm height. This work shows how AFM can be exploited to reveal protein conformation on polymer materials. Different laminin morphologies are observed on a series of different copolymers based on ethyl acrylate and hydroxyethyl acrylate as a function of the surface density of -OH groups: from globular to completely extended morphologies of the protein molecules are obtained, and the onset of laminin network formation on some substrates can be clearly identified. The results stress the importance of the underlying synthetic substrate's surface chemistry for the biofunctional conformation of adsorbed proteins.
