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

Human viruses have traditionally been studied in immortalized, usually tumor-derived, cell lines because of their availability, low cost, ease of expansion, and ease of care. Although most viruses infect, replicate, and spread in these cells, all aspects of in vivo virus-host interaction are not accurately reflected in immortalized cells. The isolation, storage, and differentiation of human airway epithelial basal cells have enabled ex vivo studies of RSV infection in a near natural setting. Here we provide our rationale for using well-differentiated primary human bronchial and nasal epithelial cultures, and a current protocol for generating these fully differentiated airway cultures from donor tissue for ex vivo studies of RSV and other respiratory virus infections.
