Optimization of Normal Human Bronchial Epithelial (NHBE) Cell 3D Cultures for in vitro Lung Model Studies.
Article in Scientific reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 111 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Robust in vitro lung models are required for risk assessment to measure key events leading to respiratory diseases. Primary normal human bronchial epithelial cells (NHBE) represent a good lung model but obtaining well-differentiated 3D cultures can be challenging. Here, we evaluated the ability to expand primary NHBE cells in different culture conditions while maintaining their 3D culture characteristics such as ciliated and goblet cells, and ion channel function. Differentiated cultures were optimally obtained with PneumaCult-Ex Plus (expansion medium)/PneumaCult-ALI (differentiation medium). Primary cells passaged up to four times maintained airway epithelial characteristics as evidenced by ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium with goblet cells, trans-epithelial electrical resistance (TEER) (>400 Ohms.cm
