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.
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
The heterogeneity of the human intestinal epithelium has hindered the understanding of the pathophysiology of distinct specialized cell types on a single-cell basis in disease states. Described here is a workflow for the cryopreservation of endoscopically obtained human intestinal mucosal biopsies, subsequent preparation of this tissue to yield highly viable fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS)isolated human intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) single-cell suspensions compatible with successful library preparation and deep single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq). We validated this protocol in deep scRNAseq of 59,653 intestinal cells in 10 human participants. Furthermore, primary intestinal cultures were successfully generated from cryopreserved tissue, capable of surviving in short-term culture and suitable for physiological assays studying gut peptide secretion from rare hormone-producing enteroendocrine cells in humans. This study offers an accessible avenue for single-cell transcriptomics and
