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

Inhalation exposure to environmental and occupational aerosol contaminants is associated with many respiratory health problems. To realistically mimic long-term inhalation exposure for toxicity testing, lung epithelial cells need to maintained and exposed under air-liquid interface (ALI) conditions for a prolonged period of time. In addition, to study cellular responses to aerosol particles, lung epithelial cells have to be co-cultured with macrophages. To that aim, we evaluated human bronchial epithelial Calu-3, 16HBE14o- (16HBE), H292, and BEAS-2B cell lines with respect to epithelial morphology, barrier function and cell viability under prolonged ALI culture conditions. Only the Calu-3 cells can retain the monolayer structure and maintain a strong tight junction under long-term ALI culture at least up to 2 weeks. As such, Calu-3 cells were applied as the structural barrier to create co-culture models with human monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) and THP-1 derived macrophages (TDMs). Adhesion of macrophages onto the epithelial monolayer was allowed for 4 h with a density of 5 × 10
