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

CDy6, a BODIPY-derived compound, is used to label lysosomes and visualize proliferating cells. However, its effectiveness in long-term, real-time cell viability assays using 2D or 3D cell culture models is unclear. We evaluated the suitability of CDy6 by assessing cell health using human keratinocyte and fibroblast cell lines in both models. Cells were stained with CDy6 or other dyes and fluorescent images were obtained with confocal microscopy. CLV extracts derived from CDy6-stained HaCaT cells were also dissolved with DMSO and analyzed using a spectrometer. Furthermore, we added CDy6-stained collagen hydrogels to CCD-986sk cells, loaded them into a frame construction to establish a 3D dermal layer for long-term culture, and analyzed the status of the CLVs. The CLV method, also measured using a spectrometer, yielded results similar to MTT assay for validating viability. In contrast to calcein AM staining, the CLV method allows for both absorbance measurement and imaging under short-term and long-term culture conditions with less cytotoxicity. In conclusion, the CLV method provides a simple and sensitive tool for assessing the status of live cells in 2D and 3D in vitro cell culture models and can be used as an alternative to animal testing, such as with 3D artificial skin models.
