Cell Response in Free-Packed Granular Systems.
Article in ACS applied materials & interfaces, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
The study of the interactions of living adherent cells with mechanically stable (visco)elastic materials enables understanding and exploitation of physiological phenomena mediated by cell-extracellular communication. Insights into the interaction of cells and surrounding objects with different stability patterns upon cell contact might unveil biological responses to engineer innovative applications. Here, we hypothesize that the efficiency of cell attachment, spreading, and movement across a free-packed granular bed of microparticles depends on the microparticle diameter, raising the possibility of a necessary minimum traction force for the reinforcement of cell-particle bonds and long-term cell adhesion. The results suggest that microparticles with diameters of 14-20 μm are prone to cell-mediated mobility, holding the potential of inducing early cell detachment, while objects with diameters from 38 to 85 μm enable long-lasting cell adhesion and proliferation. An in silico hybrid particle-based model that addresses the time-dependent biological mechanisms of cell adhesion is proposed, providing inspiration for engineering platforms to address healthcare-related challenges.
