High-quality acinar cell isolation enables single-cell analysis of healthy and injured pancreas.
Article in Cell reports methods, 2026. 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
Acinar cells are the predominant cell type of the pancreas. However, in single-cell RNA sequencing datasets from healthy murine pancreas, acinar cells typically represent less than half of the total cells. Here, we developed a protocol that facilitates the rapid digestion of the pancreas into high-quality single cells from both healthy and caerulein-induced acute pancreatitis (AP) tissue. Under homeostatic conditions, acinar cells exhibited limited heterogeneity, with distinct subpopulations selectively and highly expressing protease genes or transcription factors, mirroring patterns observed in the healthy human pancreas. Moreover, 24 h after AP, acinar cells displayed heterogeneous expression of "ADM trypsinogens" and ductal markers. Additionally, this method enabled immune phenotyping via flow cytometry in a pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma model. By overcoming the challenges associated with isolating acinar cells, our method offers an improvement over existing protocols for obtaining live single cells from the pancreas, which specifically caters to a comprehensive characterization of acinar cell populations.
