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

An emerging number of micro- and nanoelectronics-based biosensors have been developed for non-invasive recordings of physiological cellular activity. The interface between the biological system and the electronic devices strongly influences the signal transfer between these systems. Little is known about the nanoscopic structure of the cell-sensor interface that is essential for a detailed interpretation of the recordings. Therefore, we analysed the interface between the sensor surface and attached cells using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The maximum possible resolution of our TEM study, however, was restricted by the quality of the interface preparation. Therefore, we complemented our studies with imaging ellipsometry. We cultured HEK293 cells on substrates, which had been precoated with different types of proteins. We found that contact geometry between attached cell membrane and substrate was dependent on the type of protein coating used. In the presence of polylysine, the average distance of the membrane-substrate interface was in the range of 35-40 nm. However, the cell membrane was highly protruded in the presence of other proteins like fibronectin, laminin or concanavalin-A. The presented method allows the nanoscopic characterization of the cell-sensor interface.
