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

An increasing number of polypeptide growth factors have been identified that have proven essential in the development of defined cell culture media for mammalian cell culture. The development of defined mammalian cell culture media, in turn, has provided an environment for studying cell lines in an experimentally manageable unit for studying the action of cellular regulators and genes that determine the properties of cells. Evidence that vertebrate growth factors may be present in insects is based on DNA sequences that encode epidermal growth factor and transforming growth factor-beta. However, research on the influence of commercially available vertebrate growth factors is very limited. Although the majority of insect growth-promoting substances studied were isolated directly from insect hemolymph, few of these have been purified to the extent that they could be tested in insect cell, tissue, and endoparasite cultures. Research is needed in both of these areas to aid in developing defined insect culture systems, and to understand better the regulation of postembryonic growth and development in insects.
