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

Poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) is a material applicable for tissue and biomedical engineering, especially based on microfluidic devices. PDMS is a material used in studies aimed at understanding cell behavior and analyzing the cell adhesion mechanism. In this work, biological characterization of the modified PDMS surfaces based on cell attachment and toxicity assays was performed. We studied Balb 3T3/c, HMEC-1, and HT-29 cell adhesion on poly(dimethylsiloxane) surfaces modified by different proteins, with and without pre-activation with plasma oxygen and UV irradiation. Additionally, we studied how changing of a base and a curing agent ratios influence cell proliferation. We observed that cell type has a high impact on cell adhesion, proliferation, as well as viability after drug exposure. It was tested that the carcinoma cells do not require a highly specific microenvironment for their proliferation. Cytotoxicity assays with celecoxib and oxaliplatin on the modified PDMS surfaces showed that normal cells, cultured on the modified PDMS, are more sensitive to drugs than cancer cells. Cell adhesion was also tested in the microfluidic systems made of the modified PDMS layers. Thanks to that, we studied how the surface area to volume ratio influences cell behavior. The results presented in this manuscript could be helpful for creation of proper culture conditions during
