Characterization of Amyloid Fibril Networks by Atomic Force Microscopy.
Article in Bio-protocol, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Dense networks of amyloid nanofibrils fabricated from common globular proteins adsorbed to solid supports can improve cell adhesion, spreading and differentiation compared to traditional flat, stiff 2D cell culture substrates like Tissue Culture Polystyrene (TCPS). This is due to the fibrous, nanotopographic nature of the amyloid fibril networks and the fact that they closely mimic the mechanical properties and architecture of the extracellular matrix (ECM). However, precise cell responses are strongly dependent on the nanostructure of the network at the cell culture interface, thus accurate characterization of the immobilized network is important. Due to its exquisite lateral resolution and simple sample preparation techniques, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is an ideal technique to characterize the fibril network morphology. Thus, here we describe a detailed protocol, for the characterization of amyloid fibril networks by tapping mode AFM.
