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

Lymphoid organ function depends on fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs), the non-hematopoietic mesenchymal stromal cells that crucially support immune activity in human lymph nodes (LNs). The in vitro study of human immunology requires physiological LN models, yet the inclusion of FRCs in current models is lacking. Here, we created an organotypic LN hydrogel model, containing native immune cells from LN tissue and ex vivo cultured autologous FRCs. During a oneweek culture period, enrichment of FRCs into the LN model benefited the viability of all immune cell populations, particularly B cells, and promoted the presence of certain subsets including CD4
