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

Intramuscular fat (IMF) deposition critically influences pork quality, necessitating reliable in vitro models to investigate its regulatory mechanisms. However, developing cost-effective porcine intramuscular pre-adipocyte (IMPA) seed cells capable of sustained proliferation and complete adipogenic differentiation remains technically challenging. Here, we established an immortalized porcine IMPA cell line through lentiviral-mediated transduction of simian virus 40 large T antigen (SV40T). This cell line retained differentiation capacity for over 25 passages, addressing limitations in primary cell lifespan. Functional evaluations demonstrated robust proliferative activity via CCK-8 assays, sustained telomerase activity, and minimal apoptosis, confirming stable growth characteristics during long-term culture. Furthermore, adipogenic induction assays revealed preserved differentiation potential, evidenced by lipid droplet accumulation and adipogenic marker expression. Collectively, this immortalized porcine IMPA cell line provides a valuable and reproducible model for elucidating molecular mechanisms underlying IMF deposition, offering significant utility for agricultural and biomedical research.
