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

Fibroblasts have a central role in the maintenance of tissue homeostasis and repair after injury. Currently, there are no tractable, cost-effective model systems for studying the biology of human fibroblasts in vivo. Here we demonstrate that primary human fibroblasts survive transplantation into zebrafish embryos. Transplanted cells migrate and proliferate, but do not integrate into host tissues. We used this system to study the intrinsic motility of lung fibroblasts from a prototype fibrotic lung disease, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). IPF fibroblasts displayed a significantly higher level of motility than did fibroblasts from nonfibrotic lungs. This is the first in vivo examination of primary human lung fibroblast motility in health and disease using zebrafish models.
