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

Trypsinization (WT) was employed to disaggregate urothelial cells from normal human urinary bladder mucosa for the preparation of primary cultures. Urinary bladders of two male adults both 25 years old were obtained autopsy 1-2 h after death. The mucosa was incubated in HBSS containing 0.25% trypsin at 37 degrees C. Mean cell yield, viability, and attachment were 14.6 X 10(7), 76%, and 42.5% after WT. In histologic sections of treated mucosa, most of the urothelium was removed by WT. Following plating and attachment, cells obtained by WT formed a monolayer of flattened epithelial-like cells. When stained with polyclonal antikeratin antibody using the indirect immunoperoxidase technique, all of the cells were immunoreactive indicating an epithelial origin. In conclusion, based on morphology and immunocytochemistry, WT removed virtually all of the urothelial cells from the mucosa and no contamination by mesenchymal cells resulted from this procedure. Thus, WT is an appropriate technique for the isolation of urothelial cells and initiation of primary cultures of normal human urothelial cells for subsequent study.
