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 determine the integrity and permeability properties of the immortalized human VA10 bronchial epithelial cell line for its suitability as an in vitro drug permeation model.

methodsCells were grown under liquid-covered culture (LCC) or air-liquid interface (ALI) culture, characterized using electron microscopy and immunostaining. Integrity was measured using transepithelial electrical resistance (TER) and permeability of fluorescein sodium (Flu-Na). General permeability was established with dextrans and model drugs and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) function determined with bidirectional flux of rhodamine-123.

resultsALI culture resulted in 2-3 cell layers with differentiation towards ciliated cells but LCC showed undifferentiated morphology. VA10 cells formed TJ, with higher TER in LCC than ALI (∼2500 vs. ∼1200 Ω*cm(2)) and Flu-Na permeability ∼1-2 × 10(-7) cm/s. ALI cultured cells expressed P-gp and distinguished between compounds depending on lipophilicity and size, consistent with previous data from Calu-3 and 16HBE14o-cell lines.

conclusionsALI cultured cell layers capture the in vivo-like phenotype of bronchial epithelium and form functional cell barrier capable of discriminating between compounds depending on physiochemical properties. The VA10 cell line is an important alternative to previously published cell lines and a relevant model to study airway drug delivery in vitro.
