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

introductionPrimary cultured hepatocytes are an important model for early safety evaluations of newly developed drugs. Many factors, however, hinder the wider applications of this technology, especially the difficulty to maintain these cells in long-term culture. To date, creating a stable supply of human or animal hepatocytes with proper hepatic function

methodsThe iHep cells were prepared by introducing two genes, namely, the Forkhead box A1 (

resultsNotably, albumin was observed in the iHep spheroids and the expression of hepatic genes, such as albumin and drug metabolism

conclusionsUpon incorporating three-dimensional technology, we managed to achieve iHep spheroids that are closer in gene expression to living liver tissue compared to conventional monolayer cultures. Thus, we are one step closer to creating a sustainable
