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

Primary cultured gill models are useful for investigating fish gill epithelium barrier properties. Typically, gill cell culture methods utilize commercially available heterologous serum supplements rather than native serum. This is because heterologous serum is easy to obtain and facilitates the development of models that mimic the gill very well. Also, native serum (or plasma) has historically had mixed success in primary cultured fish epithelium models. This study examined the effects of the blood anti-coagulating agent heparin and native serum on the barrier properties of a primary cultured trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) gill model. Development of epithelia in the presence of heparin decreased transepithelial electrical resistance (TER) and increased paracellular movement of [
