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

The coupling between cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesion systems is known to affect the stability of the adhesive status of cells, as well as tissue cohesion. In this work, we perform quantitative assays of integrin-cadherin cross talk in controlled and reproducible conditions. This is achieved by plating cells on microprinted fibronectin patterns of different sizes, and simulating the formation of an intercellular contact with a microbead coated with E-cadherin extracellular domains and brought to the cell membrane. Using an optical trap, we measure the average rigidity modulus of the E-cadherin bead-cell contact as a function of the contact incubation time and of the cell spreading area. For a given incubation time, this rigidity modulus decreases by three orders of magnitude as the cell-matrix contact area, A, increases from 100 to 700 μm(2). In a similar way, the dynamics of formation of the bead-cell contact gets slower as this area increases. This is clear evidence for a strong negative feedback from cell-fibronectin onto cell-cell adhesive contacts, for which we discuss some possible mechanisms.
