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

Single-cell adhesion assays can be divided into studies on attachment and detachment events, and several methods that enable the characterization of both processes have been established in the past. Due to their low invasiveness, label-free principles, and contactless operation, optical methods are especially beneficial for this purpose. Historically, optical tweezers (OTs) have been used to explore single-cell detachment events, allowing for the precise determination of minute physical forces. However, it has been noted that OTs can also be used to study single-cell attachment dynamics, including the evaluation of minimum cell-to-cell contact times necessary to establish a stable adhesive bond. Here, we provide a step-by-step protocol to effectively evaluate minute changes in the adhesion of single leukemia-lymphoma cells using optical tweezers with low laser intensities. This serves as a valuable in vitro model to determine the effects of physical and chemical factors on the adhesive properties of leukemia-lymphoma (LL) cells.
