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

Oviduct and uterus are key female reproductive organs lined by ciliated simple columnar epithelia, which are the first line of maternal contact with gametes and the developing embryo during reproduction and which warrant the optimal developmental environment for the conceptus. A major challenge for modeling these epithelia in vitro is the preservation of apical-basal polarization and cilia formation. The air-liquid interface (ALI) culture approach is a technology originally invented for modeling epidermal and airway epithelia. It has recently been shown that it also allows the establishment of highly differentiated in vitro models of epithelia that do not have access to ambient air in vivo. In this chapter, we present a comprehensive ALI procedure to model female reproductive tract (FRT) epithelia of different mammalian species in vitro over extended time periods. As a working example, the protocol focuses on primary oviductal epithelial cells (OEC) isolated from domestic pig. Hints on protocol variations for the culture of OEC from other species are provided in the Subheading 4.
