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

Over the past century, a growing body of work has demonstrated that cellular behavior is impacted by contact with the materials in the surrounding environment, at length scales from centimeters down to nanometers. Soft matter (such as native extracellular matrices) has historically been challenging to pattern with great precision, so early efforts to understand structured cell-material interactions in the 1990s took advantage of hard interfaces, leveraging fabrication methods developed for the electronics industry throughout the 60s and 70s. Ultimately, as it became clear that cells respond to not only topography and chemistry of their environment, but also mechanical properties, patterning methods have been extended to soft materials, although often with lower structural resolution. Here, we provide a historical overview of the development of structured cell scaffold interfaces, highlighting the potential for additional advances in material patterning translated from hard to soft matter.
