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

introductionAlthough cell culture has been widely used in the life sciences, there are still many aspects of this technique that are unclear. In this study, we have focused on the manual operations in the cell culture process and try to analyze the operators' flow line.

methodsDuring a course of approximately 6 years, we obtained the operators' flow line data from two places (three layouts) and 38 operators (93 subcultures) using two network cameras and a motion detection software (Vitracom SiteView).

resultsOur investigation succeeded in quantifying the flow line of the subculture process and analyzed the time taken to carry out the process, to travel around the workplace. For the subculture process, the total time of the process being rerated the time of the operation in the place where the main operation is performed; the total distance of travel and the counts of travel not being related to the total time of the process. Based on these results, we propose a new way of evaluating the efficiency of cell culture process in terms of time and traveling. We believe that the results of this study can guide cell culture operators in handling cells more efficiently in cell manufacturing processes.

conclusionsThe flow line analysis method suggested by us can record the operators involved and improve the efficiency and consistency of the process; it can, therefore, be introduced in cell manufacturing processes. In addition, this method only requires network cameras and motion detection software, which are inexpensive and can be set up easily.
