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 precise spatial and temporal regulation of cell-cell adhesions is crucial for understanding the underlying biological processes and for assembling multicellular structures in tissue engineering. Traditional approaches have relied on chemical membrane functionalization and regulated gene expression of native cell adhesion molecules (CAMs), but these methods lack the necessary control and can be detrimental to cells. In contrast, engineered photoswitchable cell-cell adhesions offer a reversible and dynamic regulation at a single-cell resolution. This is achieved by expressing different photodimerizers as artificial CAMs on the cell surfaces. Here, we describe a straightforward method for the functional analysis of these photoswitchable cell-cell adhesions in a 3D suspension culture.
