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
Spheroid 3D cultures yield a better representation of diverse cellular events in comparison with 2D cultures. However, the ability to investigate some specific phenotype/cell biology-related outcomes of experimental interventions by flow cytometry is somewhat limited in spheroid cultures, as it requires a single cell suspension with good preservation of membrane-bound proteins. In this study, we describe a method combining enzymatic and mechanical dissociation of large spheroids of five different oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cell lines (H314, SCC9, SCC25, UM-SCC1 and HSC3). Spheroids were generated using magnetic 3D bioprinting. Efficacy of dissociation and viability after dissociation were evaluated by flow cytometry. All spheroids were successfully dissociated into single cells with low cell aggregation using this method, except for spheroids of HSC3 cells. H314 and SCC9 spheroids yielded the highest number of events per microliter and therefore also the largest total number of events. H314 and SCC25 spheroids presented the better results for cell viability after dissociation. H314 spheroids also gave the largest total number of viable cell events. The dissociation method described can be useful for researchers interested in flow cytometry-based analysis of spheroid cultures.
