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 effects of serial cell passaging on cell spreading, migration, and cell-surface ultrastructures have been less investigated directly. This study evaluated the effects of long-term serial cell passaging (totally 35 passages) on cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells which were pre-stored at -80 °C as usual. Percentage- and spread area-based spreading assays, measurements of fluorescently labeled actin filaments, migration assay, and measurements of cell-surface roughness were performed and quantitatively analyzed by confocal microscopy or atomic force microscopy. We found that the abilities of cell spreading and migration first increased at early passages and then decreased after passage 15, in agreement with the changes in average length of actin filaments. Recovery from cold storage and effects of cell passaging were potentially responsible for the increases and decreases of the values, respectively. In contrast, the average roughness of cell surfaces (particularly the nucleus-surrounding region) first dropped at early passages and then rose after passage 15, which might be caused by cold storage- and cell passaging-induced endothelial microparticles. Our data will provide important information for understanding serial cell passaging and implies that for pre-stored adherent cells at -80 °C cell passages 5-10 are optimal for in vitro studies.
