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

Interpretation of cell-cell and cell-microenvironment interactions is critical for both advancing knowledge of basic biology and promoting applications of regenerative medicine. Cell patterning has been widely investigated in previous studies. However, the reported methods cannot simultaneously realize precise control of cell alignment and adhesion/spreading with a high efficiency at a high throughput. Here, a novel solid lift-off method with a micropore array as a shadow mask was proposed. Efficient and precise control of cell alignment and adhesion/spreading are simultaneously achieved via an ingeniously designed shadow mask, which contains large micropores (capture pores) in central areas and small micropores (spreading pores) in surrounding areas contributing to capture/alignment and adhesion/spreading control, respectively. The solid lift-off functions as follows: (1) protein micropattern generates through both the capture and spreading pores, (2) cell capture/alignment control is realized through the capture pores, and (3) cell adhesion/spreading is controlled through previously generated protein micropatterns after lift-off of the shadow mask.
