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

Intestinal organoids have become indispensable tools for many gastrointestinal researchers, advancing their studies of nontransformed intestinal epithelial cells, and their roles in an array of diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease and colon cancer. In many cases. these diseases, as well as many enteric infections, reflect pathogenic interactions between bacteria and the gut epithelium. The complexity of studying this microbe-epithelial interface in vivo has led to significant focus on modeling this cross-talk using organoid models. Considering how quickly the organoid field is advancing, it can be difficult to keep up to date with the latest techniques, as well as their respective strengths and weaknesses. This review addresses the advantages of using organoids derived from adult stem cells and the recently identified differences that biopsy location and patient age can have on organoids and their interactions with microbes. Several approaches to introducing bacteria in a relevant (apical) manner (ie, microinjecting 3-dimensional spheroids, polarity-reversed organoids, and 2-dimensional monolayers) also are addressed, as are the key readouts that can be obtained using these models. Lastly, the potential for new approaches, such as air-liquid interface, to facilitate studying bacterial interactions with important but understudied epithelial subsets such as goblet cells and their products, is evaluated.
