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

Despite the well-established biophysical principle of adhesion-guided in vitro morphogenesis, there are few single synthetic molecular species that can rapidly enable morphogenesis (e.g., a cell monolayer to cell spheroids) in a cell culture because adhesion inherently involves many signals. Here we show the use of adaptive multifunctional supramolecular assemblies of glycopeptides, consisting of cell adhesion sequence and saccharide, to induce cell spheroids rapidly from a monolayer of cells. Having a general architecture of N-terminal capping, glycosylation, and an integrin-binding sequence, the glycopeptides self-assemble to form a dynamic continuum of nanostructures (i.e., from nanoparticles to nanofibers) to affect the interactions of integrins, E-selectin, and cadherins with their natural ligands and to act adaptively according to the cellular environment. Such adaptive (i.e., context-dependent) interactions weaken cell-substratum adhesion and enhance intercellular interactions, which rapidly and transiently induce cell spheroids. This work illustrates the use of supramolecular assemblies of simple glycopeptides to modulate biophysical conditions for regulating cell functions, which is a new approach for developing biomaterials.
