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

objectiveNovel approaches to bridge the gap between clinical studies and experimental basic research of skin physiology are urgently needed. The aim of this study was to develop an effective surrogate model in which ex vivo full-thickness organ culture experiments may be performed.

methodsHuman full skin from patients was placed into a stainless steel chamber and cultured at an air-liquid interphase for 4 weeks. Samples were evaluated every week by HE-staining and immunohistochemical characterization. Epidermal gene transfer kinetics was performed as an interventional study.

resultsThis ex vivo chamber model maintained the physiologic and histologic properties of the skin explants for 4 weeks. This indicated the model's acceptable ex vivo physiologic validity. No epidermolysis was observed, and both basal lamina and blood vessels were detected within all tissue samples. Transgene expression was demonstrated to be time dependent.

conclusionThis model chamber presents a convenient, easy-to-use, and robust model in which ex vivo full-thickness organ culture experiments may be performed.
