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

Submucosal glands (SMGs) are critical for airway health; however, replicating their complex structure and function outside the body remains challenging. Here, we establish a method of airway tissue explant culture at a hydrogel-air interface (i.e., AirTECH) using trachea from newborn pigs. After 14 days, AirTECH tissues maintain their natural SMG structures, cell types, gene expression, and defense functions, along with intact surface epithelia, smooth muscle, and cartilage. Using AirTECH tissue as a model, we evaluated SMGs in cystic fibrosis (CF) airway disease progression, where exposure to lipopolysaccharide of
