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

How graphene influences the behavior of living cells or tissues remains a critical issue for its application in biomedical studies, despite the general acceptance that graphene is biocompatible. While direct contact between cells and graphene is not a requirement for all biomedical applications, it is often mandatory for biosensing. Therefore, it is important to clarify whether graphene impedes the ability of cells to interact with biological elements in their environment. Here, a systematic study is reported to determine whether applying graphene on top of matrix substrates masks interactions between these substrates and retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Six different platforms are tested for primary RGC cultures with three platforms comprised of matrix substrates compatible with these neurons, and another three having a layer of graphene placed on top of the matrix substrates. The results demonstrate that graphene does not impede interactions between RGCs and underlying substrate matrix, such that their positive or negative effects on neuron viability and vitality are retained. However, direct contact between RGCs and graphene reduces the number, but increases basal activity, of functional cation channels. The data indicate that, when proper baselines are established, graphene is a promising biosensing material for in vitro applications in neuroscience.
