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

Freestanding cell-sheets are valuable bio-materials for use in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Because cell-sheets experience various mechanical stimulations during handling, it is important to understand the responses of cells to these stimulations. Here, we demonstrate changes in the localization of various proteins during the stretching of fibroblast cell-sheets. These proteins are known to be involved in mechano-sensing. Upon stretching, actin filaments appear parallel to the stretching direction. At cell-cell junctions, β-catenin forms clusters that co-localize with accumulated vinculin and zyxin as well as the actin filaments. The p130 Crk-associated substrate, known to be present in focal adhesions, is also recruited to these clusters and phosphorylated. Our results suggest that mechano-sensing machinery is formed at cell-cell junctions when the cell-sheets are stretched.
