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

purposeTo establish human corneal stroma- and sclera-derived cells as models for studying diseases of the anterior segment of the eye.

methodsUsing a recombinant retrovirus system, we transfected human papilloma virus 16 E6 and E7 (HPV16 E6/E7) into human corneal stroma- and sclera-derived cells. The primary cells and established cell strains were characterized by assessing the mRNA expression of collagen, matrix metalloproteinase, and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. We also examined the effects of inflammatory cytokines on hyaluronan synthase expression and hyaluronan products.

resultsBoth a corneal stroma-derived cell strain, Cs3, and a sclera-derived cell strain, Sc1, were obtained, and both cell strains could be passaged up to 25 times. The mRNA expression pattern observed in the primary cells was identical to that observed in the cell strains. Hyaluronan synthase 1 and 2 mRNAs were increased by transforming growth factor beta and platelet-derived growth factor BB. Significant differences were observed between the hyaluronan products with and without cytokine treatment.

conclusionCell strains derived from corneal stroma and sclera fibroblast cells can be established using HPV16 E6/E7 immortalized genes of the same origin. The phenotypic cell characteristics did not change after transfection, immortalization, or successive passages in culture.
