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

Tractional force exerted by tissue cells in 3D collagen matrices can be utilized for matrix remodeling or cell migration. The interrelationship between these motile processes is not well understood. The current studies were carried out to test the consequences of oncogenic Ras (H-Ras(V12)) transformation on human fibroblast contraction and migration in 3D collagen matrices. Beginning with hTERT-immortalized cells, we prepared fibroblasts stably transformed with E6/E7 and with the combination HPV16 E6/E7 and H-Ras(V12). Oncogenic Ras-transformed cells lost contact inhibition of cell growth, formed colonies in soft agar and were unable to make adherens junctions. We observed no changes in the extent or growth factor dependence of collagen matrix contraction (floating or stress-relaxation) by oncogenic Ras-transformed cells. On the other hand, transformed cells in nested collagen matrices lost not only growth factor selectivity, but also cell-matrix density-dependent inhibition of migration. These findings demonstrate differential regulation of collagen matrix contraction and cell migration in 3D collagen matrices.
