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

This protocol describes a simple and an economical method for isolation of endothelial cells from human umbilical vein. Umbilical cord is easily available postpartum following informed consent, and the method for its collection is noninvasive with few ethical concerns. Thus, umbilical vein is an ideal source for isolation of endothelial cells of human origin. Endothelial cells are isolated from umbilical vein by collagenase digestion. This is followed by their culture on extracellular matrix (ECM) protein coated tissue culture flasks in presence of endothelial cell growth medium. In the last few decades, human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) have come to be regarded as a standard model system by vascular biologists to understand general principles of endothelial cell biology and dysfunction. Here, we describe isolation, culture, as well as validation of HUVECs.
