Protocol for quantifying the adhesive strength of single fluorescent cells adhering to a non-fluorescent cell monolayer by fluidic force microscopy.
Article in MethodsX, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Fluidic force microscopy combines the strengths of microfluidics and atomic force microscopy, allowing the analysis of cell detachment with up to several hundred nanonewton adhesion forces, without the application of chemical adhesives, which is not possible with atomic force microscopy alone. Fluidic force microscopy has been used in a variety of cell detachment studies where the cell of interest is attached to the substrate or embedded in cell monolayers. However, it might be difficult to study cells in vertical overlays with this method because they belong to adjacent vertical layers and cannot be easily identified with brightfield microscopy. Therefore, we present here a detailed protocol for the detection of adherent, fluorescent single cells on a non-fluorescent cell monolayer and for testing detachment levels using the fluidic force microscopy setup. This protocol allows the quantification of high nanonewton adhesion forces and has the potential to be applied to other types of adherent cell lines.
