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

Matrix stiffening profoundly influences cancer cell functions and cancer progression, and the mechanosensitive Piezo1 channel is implicated in these processes. Different from what is observed in most solid tumors, the Piezo1 channel in lung cancer is down-regulated and negatively regulates cancer cell migration, but the underlying mechanism is still unclear. Herein, we investigated the role of Piezo1 channel in matrix stiffness regulation of lung cancer cell migration and the mechanisms in A549 cells growing on polyacrylamide (PA) hydrogels with different stiffness. Compared with soft substrate, stiff substrate promoted cell migration, down-regulated Piezo1 expression, favored filopodia formation, as well as restraining the rise in intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca
