Isolation, establishment, and characterization of immortalized ileum bovine intestinal epithelial cell line.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Primary intestinal epithelial cells are a powerful tool to study tight junction protein function and barrier integrity of epithelial cells. However, primary cells are costly, difficult to isolate, have a finite ability to replicate, and require the usage of live tissue. An alternative to primary cells is immortalized cell lines, which are cost effective, easily cultured, stored, and maintain the physiology of primary cells. Several immortalized lines are commercially available, yet there remains a need for cell lines for livestock research, specifically bovine. Here we report an immortalized bovine intestinal epithelial cell (IBEC) line was established by transfection with exogenous human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT). Primary bovine intestinal epithelial cells (PBECs) were isolated from a 2-day old mixed breed calf. PBECs were transfected with hTERT to create an IBEC line. The transfected cells were positive for intestinal epithelial markers while testing negative for fibroblast markers. There was no significant difference in IBEC morphology or physiology post immortalization. In Trans-Epithelial Electrical Resistance (TEER assays), PBECs and IBECs behaved similarly to intestinal porcine enterocyte cells (IPEC-J2) under treatment of Iipopolysaccharide and calcium butyrate. This newly-developed cell line will be an essential and useful tool for in vitro bovine and ruminant intestinal research.
