A Variable Scheduling Maintenance Culture Platform for Mammalian Cells.
Article in SLAS technology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
Cell culturing is a basic experimental technique in cell biology and medical science. However, culturing high-quality cells with a high degree of reproducibility relies heavily on expert skills and tacit knowledge, and it is not straightforward to scale the production process due to the education bottleneck. Although many automated culture systems have been developed and a few have succeeded in mass production environments, very few robots are permissive of frequent protocol changes, which are often required in basic research environments. LabDroid is a general-purpose humanoid robot with two arms that performs experiments using the same tools as humans. Combining our newly developed AI software with LabDroid, we developed a variable scheduling system that continuously produces subcultures of cell lines without human intervention. The system periodically observes the cells on plates with a microscope, predicts the cell growth curve by processing cell images, and decides the best times for passage. We have succeeded in developing a system that maintains the cultures of two HEK293A cell plates with no human intervention for 192 h.
