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

Cell adhesion is an important part of many complex biological processes. It plays crucial roles in cancer, development, and maintenance of stem cell compartment. The measurement of adhesion under experimental conditions might provide important information for cell biology. There are several protocols to measure adhesion, usually based on washing or shaking to remove non-adherent cells. Here, we describe a quantification method based on gravitational force to measure adhesion in a 96-well format. Non-adherent cells are separated and only vital cells are quantified with a colorimetric assay. As example we provide the quantification of cell-cell interaction with blocking function antibodies for CD44, an N-cadherin antagonists and the stromal cell derived factor-1 alpha (SDF-1). This method facilitates fast and reliable measurement of cell adhesion in multiwell format for screening assays.
