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

Organ morphogenesis, including lung morphogenesis, involves a series of cellular behaviors that are difficult to observe and document in vivo due to current limitations in imaging techniques. Therefore, in vitro models are necessary to study these cellular behaviors as well as basic developmental processes relevant to in vivo morphogenesis. Here, we describe a novel in vitro three-dimensional (3D) culture system for assessing mouse lung alveolar morphogenesis using primary fetal mouse lung cells cultured in Matrigel supplemented with fibroblast growth factor 10 and hepatocyte growth factor. In our in vitro 3D culture system, single primary mouse fetal lung cells successfully grew, developed lumen, and formed multivesicular epithelial structures, resulting in a morphology that was highly similar to that of lung alveoli. This culture system is a useful tool for investigating the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in lung alveolar morphogenesis.
