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

aimTo explore an xeno-free and defined coating substrate suitable for the culture of H9 human embryonic stem cell-derived retinal pigment epithelial (hES-RPE) cells

methodshES-RPE cells were used in the experiment. The abilities of LN-521 and VTN-N at different concentrations to adhere to hES-RPE cells were compared with a high-content imaging system. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to evaluate RPE-specific gene expression levels midway (day 10) and at the end (day 20) of the time course. Cell polarity was observed by immunofluorescent staining for apical and basal markers of the RPE. The phagocytic ability of hES-RPE cells was identified by flow cytometry and immunofluorescence.

resultsThe cell adhesion assay showed that the ability of LN-521 to adhere to hES-RPE cells was dose-dependent. With increasing coating concentration, an increasing number of cells attached to the surface of LN-521-coated wells. In contrast, VTN-N presented a strong adhesive ability even at a low concentration. The optimal concentration of LN-521 and VTN-N required to coat and adhesion to hES-RPE cells were 2 and 0.25 µg/cm

conclusionVTN-N is a more suitable coating substrate for cultivating hES-RPE cells.
