Implementation of new software for fast screening of cell compatibility on surface modifications using low-contrast time-lapsed microscopy.

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.
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
Assessment of cell adhesion and cell size provides valuable information on surface biocompatibility. However, most investigations on cell morphology dynamics are time and resource consuming, of rather descriptive character and lack procedures for appropriate quantification. The aim of the study was to develop a software programme which allows automated cell segmentation and identification as well as calculation and further processing of cell size in low-contrast images. The software utilises modified edge detection and morphologic operations for automatic cell analysis in light microscopy images. In an application study, osteogenic cell-adhesion dynamics were quantified for the ECM proteins collagen type I (COL) and fibronectin (FIB) over a period of 12 hrs. Untreated tissue culture polystyrene (TCPS) served as control. The software programme proofed full function in automatic cell tracking and quantification of cell size. After 11 h, cell sizes were highest for COL (6391 ± 1167 µm(2)) and FIB (6036 ± 411 µm(2)) compared with TCPS (3261 ± 693 µm(2)). The developed software allows quantification of initial cell size changes on translucent surface modifications and is suitable as a reliable tool for fast biocompatibility screening. Osteogenic cell adhesion was significantly promoted by COL and FIB indicating the potential of respective functionalized biomaterial surfaces.
