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

The co-culture of human epidermal keratinocytes with mouse 3T3-J2 feeder cells, a method developed by Green and colleagues, has been widely used since the early 1980s to generate skin autografts. Additionally, co-culture with 3T3-J2 cells has been a crucial tool in skin stem cell biology, as it facilitates the evaluation of self-renewal capacity and differentiation of epidermal stem cells. This chapter presents a recent enhancement of the Green method, aimed at further promoting the expansion of human epidermal keratinocytes by utilizing a small molecule inhibitor of TGF-β signaling. This new protocol also enables the rapid expansion of human epidermal keratinocytes in co-culture with human feeder cells, including human dermal fibroblasts and human preadipocytes-two key alternatives to 3T3-J2 cells-with the long-term goal of developing customized Xeno-free skin autografts.
