Protocol to use de-epithelialized porcine urinary bladder as a tissue scaffold for propagation of pancreatic cells.
Article in STAR protocols, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Ex vivo organ culture can be a useful alternative to in vivo models, which can be time-, labor-, and cost-intensive. Here we describe a step-by-step protocol to use de-epithelialized porcine urinary bladders as scaffolds in air-liquid interface in vitro culture systems for a variety of pluripotent stem-cell-derived and patient-derived pancreatic cells and organoids. The scaffold can trigger cell maturation and enable cell-cell interaction and invasion capacity studies. However, this model is limited by the lack of functional vasculature. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Melzer et al. (2022),
