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

Effective cell number monitoring throughout the three-dimensional (3D) scaffold is a key factor in tissue engineering. There are many methods developed to evaluate cell number in 2D environments; however, they often encounter limitations in 3D. Therefore, there is a demand for reliable methods to measure cell proliferation in 3D surroundings. Here, we report a novel technique for the DNA content-based evaluation of cell proliferation using DNA-binding dye DAPI. We demonstrated the method's compatibility with four different cell cultures: cancer lines MCF-7 and MH-22a, embryonic fibroblast cell line Swiss 3T3, and primary mesenchymal stem cell culture isolated from rat's incisors. The DAPI based method was able to successfully evaluate cell proliferation in 2D, 2.5D, and 3D environments. Even though the proposed method does not discriminate between viable and dead cells, it might give a convenient snapshot of the cell number at a given time point. This should help to more reliably evaluate various processes proceeding in 2.5D and 3D cultures.
