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

The development of a trustworthy in vitro lung cancer model is essential to better understand the illness, find novel biomarkers, and establish new treatments. Polycaprolactone (PCL) electrospun nanofibers are a cost-effective and ECM-like approach for 3D cell culture. However, the solvent used to prepare the polymer solution has a significant impact on the fiber morphology and, consequently, on the cell behavior. Hence, the present study evaluated the effect of the solvent employed in the manufacturing on the physical properties of 15%-PCL electrospun scaffolds and consequently, on cell behavior of NCI-H1975 lung adenocarcinoma cells. Five solvents mixtures (acetic acid, acetic acid-formic acid (3:1, v/v), acetone, chloroform-ethanol (7:3, v/v), and chloroform-dichloromethane (7:3, v/v)) were tested. The highest cell viability ([Formula: see text] = 33.4%) was found for cells cultured on chloroform-ethanol (7:3) PCL scaffolds. Chloroform-dichloromethane (7:3) PCL scaffolds exhibited a roughness that enhanced the quality of electrospun filament, in terms of cell viability. Our findings highlighted the influence of the solvent on fiber morphology and protein adsorption capacity of nanofilaments. Consequently, these features directly affected cell attachment, morphology, and viability.
