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

The first continuous cell line from the neonate larval tissues of Blaps rhynchoptera, which has been used as a folk medicine in Yunnan Province, China, was established and designated RIRI-BR1. This cell line was serially subcultured in Schneider's medium supplemented with 15% fetal bovine serum (FBS). The cells grew adherent to culture flasks and exhibited spindle-like and polygonal shapes. The growth rate was determined at the 50th passage, and the population doubling time was calculated to be 79.5 h. The post-thaw viability of the cell line at different passages showed that the cells from higher passages could be recovered easier after cryopreservation than the cells from lower passages. The average chromosome numbers from cells of the RIRI-BR1 cell line at passages 5 to 50 ranged from 12 to 130. The rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequence analysis indicated that the RIRI-BR1 cell line was derived from B. rhynchoptera.
