Efficient and simple protocol for mechanical isolation of foreskin-derived primary human dermal fibroblasts for replicative senescence studies.
Article in BMC research notes, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
backgroundAn efficient and reproducible protocol was developed for the mechanical isolation of human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) from the foreskin, providing a practical alternative to enzymatic methods. This protocol could be easily performed with limited resources by reducing the need for expensive reagents and complex procedures. Viable cells were successfully subcultured repeatedly for cellular senescence studies, with reproducibility ensured through a detailed description.
resultsThis mechanical isolation method successfully generated HDFs with elongated spindle-shaped morphological characteristics that expressed the ACTIN protein, VIMENTIN protein, and SERPINH1 gene. HDFs survived through passage 8 (P8) during repeated subculturing.
conclusionsThe mechanical isolation protocol efficiently yields primary HDFs from the foreskin and supports replicative senescence up to passage 8 (P8). It can be applied to intrinsic skin aging studies, particularly in resource-limited settings.
