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

A spontaneously immortalized, yet non-tumorigenic rat ovarian surface epithelial (ROSE 199) cell line, deposits large amounts of extracellular matrix (ECM) in response to crowding. The characteristics and components of ROSE 199-derived cell-free ECM were compared after three different preparative techniques: treatment with 20 mM ammonium hydroxide, with 1% sodium deoxycholate, or by repeated freeze-thaws. The ECMs were analyzed by histochemistry, immunofluorescence, electron microscopy, and Western immunoblotting. Components of ROSE 199 ECM included laminin, fibronectin, and collagen types I and III. Even though ROSE 199 is an epithelial cell line, striated collagen fibers formed a major part of its matrix. Thus, ROSE 199 matrix consists of both basement membrane and stromal matrix components. This matrix supported the adhesion, spreading, and growth of several cell types without altering their morphology or growth pattern, and enhanced the attachment of some cell types that spread on plastic only with difficulty. Immunofluorescence, electron microscopy, and dry weight determinations indicated that a greater proportion of matrix was retained in preparations obtained by ammonium hydroxide or freeze thaw techniques than after sodium deoxycholate treatment. Ammonium hydroxide and freeze-thaw treated matrices were also superior to sodium deoxycholate preparations as evidenced by enhanced initial cellular adhesion and spreading compared to cells plated on plastic. Residual nuclear material did not seem to affect the biological activity of this matrix. ROSE 199 extracellular matrix provides a novel, complex substratum for cell culture and for studies of matrix functions and synthesis.
