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

aimTo induce the pancreatic duct cells into endocrine cells with a new natural protocol for electrophysiological study.

methodsThe pancreatic duct cells of neonatal rats were isolated, cultured and induced into endocrine cells with 15% fetal bovine serum for a period of 20 d. During this period, insulin secretion, MTT value, and morphological change of neonatal and adult pancreatic islet cells were comparatively investigated. Pancreatic beta-cells were identified by morphological and electrophysiological characteristics, while ATP sensitive potassium channels (K(ATP)), voltage-dependent potassium channels (K(V)), and voltage-dependent calcium channels (K(CA)) in beta-cells were identified by patch clamp technique.

resultsAfter incubation with fetal bovine serum, the neonatal duct cells budded out, changed from duct-like cells into islet clusters. In the first 4 d, MTT value and insulin secretion increased slowly (MTT value from 0.024+/-0.003 to 0.028+/-0.003, insulin secretion from 2.6+/-0.6 to 3.1+/-0.8 mIU/L). Then MTT value and insulin secretion increased quickly from d 5 to d 10 (MTT value from 0.028+/-0.003 to 0.052+/-0.008, insulin secretion from 3.1+/-0.8 to 18.3+/-2.6 mIU/L), then reached high plateau (MTT value >0.052+/-0.008, insulin secretion >18.3+/-2.6 mIU/L). In contrast, for the isolated adult pancreatic islet cells, both insulin release and MTT value were stable in the first 4 d (MTT value from 0.029+/-0.01 to 0.031+/-0.011, insulin secretion from 13.9+/-3.1 to 14.3+/-3.3 mIU/L), but afterwards they reduced gradually (MTT value <0.031+/-0.011, insulin secretion <8.2+/-1.5 mIU/L), and the pancreatic islet cells became dispersed, broken or atrophied correspondingly. The differentiated neonatal cells were identified as pancreatic islet cells by dithizone staining method, and pancreatic beta-cells were further identified by both morphological features and electrophysiological characteristics, i.e. the existence of recording currents from K(ATP), K(V), and K(CA).

conclusionIslet cells differentiated from neonatal pancreatic duct cells with the new natural protocol are more advantageous in performing patch clamp study over the isolated adult pancreatic islet cells.
