Organotypic Culture of Adult Vascularized Porcine Retina Explants In Vitro on Nanotube Scaffolds.
Article in Biological procedures online, 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
backgroundOrganotypic long-term cultivation of vascularized retina explants is a major challenge for application in drug development, drug screening, diagnostics and future personalized medicine. With this background, an assay and protocol for organotypic culture of vascularized retina explants in vitro with optimum tissue integrity preservation is developed and demonstrated.
methodsMorphological, histologic and biochemical integrity as well as viability of vascularized retina explants are compared as function of cultivation time for differently structured nanotube scaffolds. In doing so, porcine retina explants obtained from a local slaughterhouse are employed as paradigm for vascularized retina.
conclusionsWe demonstrate that titania nanotube arrays are highly promising as culturing scaffold of vascularized retina explants in vitro due to highly tunable surface properties regarding biomedical signaling. The unprecedented maintenance of tissue integrity allows for screening of pharmacological drugs and disease mechanisms in an ex-vivo test-based culture system with reduced need for animal experiments.
