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 establishment and characterization of a continuous cell line from the thymus of air-breathing fish Channa striatus are described. The cell line, designated C. striatus thymus (CST), has been subcultured over 71 times and shows optimal growth at 28°C in Leibovitz's-15 (L-15) medium supplemented with 20% fetal bovine serum. The CST cells exhibited low plating efficiency which improved with increase in seeding density. The karyotype analysis revealed that CST cells have a normal diploid karyotype with 2n = 40. Partial amplification and sequencing of two mitochondrial genes, viz. 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and cytochrome oxidase I, confirmed that the cell line originated from C. striatus. CST cells were successfully transfected indicating their potential application for expression of recombinant proteins. In immunocytochemical staining, CST cells showed characteristics of epithelial cells. These cells were sensitive to extracellular products of Vibrio cholerae MTCC 3904 as well as to heavy metal mercuric chloride. The CST cell line would be a useful tool in functional genomic studies such as RNA interference and gene knockout as well as for cytotoxicity studies.
