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

It has been a challenge to develop skin models which exhibit the key characteristics of the human skin and facilitate high-throughput drug screening. In this study, a method is developed to construct microspheric skin organoids based on spinning bioreactors. The organoid consists of a core-shell structure to mimic the bilayered skin structure, where the shell is composed of cultured human keratinocytes, resembling the epidermis, and the core, which mimics the dermis, comprises human dermal fibroblasts and collagen. In fabrication of the organoid, the cores are cultured with keratinocytes in spinner flasks under defined conditions to facilitate epidermal growth and differentiation to form mature barrier. To enable efficient drug screening, the organoid is equipped with a luciferase reporter to detect canonical Wnt activation, and Minoxidil is identified to induce epidermal Wnt/beta-catenin pathway signaling. Thus, the study has developed a novel method for efficient preparation of uniform microspheric skin organoids with potential applications for high-throughput drug testing and screening.
