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

Epithelial organoid monoculture is a powerful tool to model stem cell dynamics in vitro. However, extensive efforts have recently revealed various niche players and their significant roles in regulating epithelial stem cells. Among these niche components, fibroblasts have been heavily recognized in the field as a critical niche signal secretor. Thus, understanding the roles of fibroblasts in epithelial dynamics has become increasingly relevant and crucial. This propels the development of approaches to coculture epithelial 3D organoids with fibroblasts to model epithelial-fibroblast crosstalk in vitro. Here, we describe a stepwise coculture method to isolate and culture primary intestinal fibroblasts and epithelial organoids together. Aligned with the recent literature, our coculture protocol allows for primary intestinal fibroblast support of epithelial organoid growth.
