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

Image-based cell/colony analyses offer promising solutions to compensate for the lack of quality control (QC) tools for noninvasive monitoring of cultured cells, a regulatory challenge in regenerative medicine. Here, the feasibility of two image analysis algorithms, optical flow and normalised cross-correlation, to noninvasively measure cell/colony motion in human primary oral keratinocytes for screening the proliferative capacity of cells in the early phases of cell culture were examined. We applied our software to movies converted from 96 consecutive time-lapse phase-contrast images of an oral keratinocyte culture. After segmenting the growing colonies, two indices were calculated based on each algorithm. The correlation between each index of the colonies and their proliferative capacity was evaluated. The software was able to assess cell/colony motion noninvasively, and each index reflected the observed cell kinetics. A positive linear correlation was found between cell/colony motion and proliferative capacity, indicating that both algorithms are potential tools for QC.
