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

Primary human vulvovaginal fibroblast cell lines are useful for studying biological mechanisms underlying genital pain, pelvic organ prolapse, and the spread of sexually transmitted infections. However, the vaginal biopsies necessary for establishing these cell lines are invasive and relatively difficult to obtain. Primary mouse fibroblast cell lines derived from pre-clinical animal models of these conditions can be used for better controlled experiments that can help us dissect disease mechanisms. To our knowledge, there are no published protocols for establishing primary murine vaginal fibroblast cell lines to date. Here, we describe a protocol for the establishment of murine vaginal fibroblast cell lines via enzymatic digestion of vaginal canal tissue. Cell lines generated using this method can be used for
