Lysophosphatidic acid improves corneal endothelial density in tissue culture by stimulating stromal secretion of interleukin-1β.
Article in Journal of cellular and molecular medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
The short supply of donor corneas is exacerbated by the unsuitability of donors with insufficient endothelial cell density. Few studies have investigated promoting corneal endothelial cell proliferation to increase the endothelial cell density. We hypothesize that pre-transplantation treatment of proliferative tissue-cultivated corneas may increase corneal endothelial cell density. We observed that the airlift cultures were superior to immersion cultures with respect to both transparency and thickness. In this tissue culture system, we observed that lysophosphatidic acid increased the rabbit corneal endothelial cell density, number of BrdU-positive cells and improve wound healing. We also observed an indirect effect of lysophosphatidic acid on corneal endothelial cell proliferation mediated by the stimulation of interleukin-1β secretion from stromal cells. Human corneal tissues treated with lysophosphatidic acid or interleukin-1β contained significantly more Ki-67-positive cells than untreated group. The lysophosphatidic acid- or interleukin-1β-treated cultured tissue remained hexagon-shaped, with ZO-1 expression and no evidence of the endothelial-mesenchymal transition. Our novel protocol of tissue culture may be applicable for eye banks to optimize corneal grafting.
