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 use of cultured cells has been instrumental in studying biochemical, molecular, and cellular processes. The composition of serum that cells are maintained in can have a profound impact on important cellular checkpoints. Cell growth and apoptosis are analyzed in an estrogen receptor positive breast cancer cell line in the presence of serum that have been treated to remove steroids or lipids, as well-described in the literature. It is shown that maintaining cells in the presence of charcoal-dextran-treated serum causes reduced growth rate, which can be reversed by the addition of estradiol. Silica-treated-serum also slows down cell growth and induces apoptosis. In order to investigate the role of lipids in these phenotypes, the levels of a wide range of lipids in different sera are investigated. It is shown that silica-treatment significantly depletes phosphatidylcholines and cholesterol. It is also shown that lipogenesis is stimulated when cells are cultured with silica-treated-serum and this is reversed by the addition of exogenous lipids, which also restores growth rate and apoptosis. The results show that cultured cells are sensitive to different serum, most likely due to the differences in levels of structural and signaling metabolites present in their growth environment.
