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

In vitro cell culture experiments play an important role in medical research. Various cellular mechanisms and signaling pathways have been identified with in vitro experimental techniques. Unfortunately, the clinical and translational impact of these studies is often limited due to their inability to closely resemble physiological or pathophysiological milieus in cell culture and the use of unrealistic experimental conditions. Thus, further developments must be made to improve the translation of in vitro cell culture work. The application of human plasma or serum as a stimulus for cells, human or otherwise, is a relatively new approach that ultimately overcomes many of the in vitro limitations and provides a more physiologically relevant model. While this technique has been used for the investigation of various diseases and pharmacological mechanisms, discrepancies remain regarding the appropriate methodologies. This review provides insight into recent findings through the application of human plasma or serum as stimuli, as well as an analysis of methodological considerations and suggestions for future directions.
