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

Biomechanical stimuli are critical in regulating cell behavior and phenotype across various tissues and organs, particularly within the cardiovascular system. Endothelial cells, which line blood vessels, are continuously subjected to forces generated by the pulsatile nature of blood flow, including shear stress, strain, and hydrostatic pressure (HP). Among these stimuli, HP remains the least explored, primarily due to the technical challenges of incorporating it into conventional cell culture systems. However, HP significantly influences key biological processes, such as cell differentiation, migration, proliferation, and apoptosis. To facilitate the introduction of HP in vitro, we have previously developed an automated, high-throughput platform compatible with standard 96-well plates capable of delivering up to 12 independent pressure conditions. In this study, we applied this setup to investigate the effects of a wide range of static pressure conditions on the viability, morphology, and cytoskeleton adaptation of Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVECs).
