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

backgroundWe developed a 3-dimensional (3D) culture system using a high-purity silica fiber scaffold of unwoven sheets called CellbedTM.

methodsWe used adherent colon and esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma cells, tongue squamous cell carcinoma (SqCC) cells, and nonadherent gastric cancer cells. These cells were subjected to staining with various substances and observed by electron microscopy. To evaluate the effects of extracellular matrix in carcinoma tissues, SqCC cells were cultured in Cellbed coated with collagens I, III, and IV.

resultsEspecially well-differentiated carcinoma cells cultured in this 3D system showed their own unique characteristics: luminal formation in adenocarcinoma cells and cell stratification and keratinization in SqCC cells. Scanning electron microscopy revealed the proliferation of cancer cells with cytoplasm entwined in Cellbed. Intercellular desmosomes in squamous epithelia were detected by transmission electron microscopy of vertical cross sections. SqCC cells cultured in Cellbed coated with collagen IV showed enhanced invasive and proliferative abilities.

conclusionBecause the morphology of cancer cells cultured in this 3D culture system is similar to that in living organisms, we called the system a "tissueoid cell culture system." Coating with collagen IV enables the modification of cell-matrix interactions as well as recapitulation of the in vivo microenvironment.
