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

Astrocytes play the key roles in the physiology and pathology of the CNS. Thereupon, in this manuscript, we aim to demonstrate that the protocol for purification and culture of astrocytes is useful not only in 2 days postnatal but also in adult rat brain. Also, the mentioned protocol is a simple and efficient primary cell culture technique. The whole-brain was isolated from the skull and the meninges were removed carefully. Afterward, the cerebral hemispheres were mechanically and enzymatically digested. Then, the cell suspension was seeded in T25 culture flask and was incubated at 37 °C in the CO
