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

Advancements in cell-based foods require materials that meet the highest food safety standards. Conventional cell dissociation agents, such as animal-derived trypsin, pose significant risks including viral contamination and allergenicity, which hinder their use in food production. To overcome this challenge, we propose a food regulatory pre-check framework, which prioritizes regulatory compliance before functional testing. Following this framework, we developed iDisper, a novel food-grade animal-free cell dissociation reagent composed of approved food additives (papain and trisodium citrate). Specifically, an optimized formulation containing 2 mg/mL papain demonstrated a dissociation efficacy and viability comparable to those of commercial agents in primary avian cells. Furthermore, iDisper demonstrated 8-month stability at -20 °C. This study validated the proposed framework as an effective strategy for developing safe and practical reagents for the cell-based food industry.
