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 spheroids of 3-dimensional culture and Rho-associated kinase (ROCK) inhibitor Y-27632 have shown many advantages for the promotion of cellular viability and proliferation. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of Y-27632 on the growth and injectability of bovine corneal endothelial cells (B-CECs) maintained in vitro as spheroid cultures. Immunofluorescence staining showed that Y-27632 did not alter the cell type specificity of B-CECs, but it significantly enhanced B-CEC spherical viability and proliferation by a Live/Dead assay, 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) labeling assay, and Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. The uniform B-CEC spheroids could easily form in multiwall agarose micromolds and had a higher stemness potential than single B-CECs. Injectable B-CEC spheroids were able to form monolayer growth, and polygonal B-CECs completely covered culture plates or Descemet's membrane of decellularized corneas under inverted microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). B-CEC spheroids were generated from agarose microwells on day 1 and then adherent culture with Y-27632 for day 5. However, small B-CEC spheroids still existed on culture plates or decellularized corneas when B-CEC spheroids were cultured in the same condition except for absence of Y-27632. Our findings that CEC spheroids with Y-27632 are injectable in vitro have important implications for the favorable treatment of CEC deficiency.
