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

Micropatterning is used widely in biosensor development, tissue engineering and basic biology. Creation of biological micropatterns typically involves multiple sequential steps that may lead to cross-contamination and may contribute to sub-optimal performance of the surface. Therefore, there is a need to develop novel strategies for characterizing location-specific chemical composition of biological micropatterns. In this paper, C(60) (+) ToF-SIMS operating in the event-by-event bombardment-detection mode was used for spatially resolved chemical analysis of micropatterned indium tin oxide (ITO) surfaces. Fabrication of the micropatterns involved multiple steps including self-assembly of poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG)-silane, patterning of photoresist, treatment with oxygen plasma and adsorption of collagen (I). The ITO surfaces were analyzed with 26 keV C(60) (+)SIMS run in the event-by-event bombardment-detection mode at different steps of the modification process. We were able to evaluate the extent of cross-contamination between different steps and quantify coverage of the immobilized species. The methodology described here provides a novel means for characterizing the composition of biological micropatterns in a quantitative and spatially-resolved manner.
