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

Mice with targeted disruption of the cftr gene show pathophysiologic changes in the gallbladder, which correlate with hepatobiliary disease seen in cystic fibrosis patients. As gallbladder epithelium secretes mucin, and as this epithelium consists of a relatively homogenous cell type, study of CFTR function in these cells would be beneficial to delineate the complex cellular functions of this protein. The size and anatomic location of the murine gallbladder makes such studies difficult in vivo. Therefore, the need exists for in vitro models of gallbladder epithelium. We describe a method to isolate and culture murine gallbladder epithelium from wild-type and CF mice. Cells were grown in a monolayer on porous inserts over a feeder layer of fibroblasts. These nontransformed cells can be successively passaged and maintain a well-differentiated epithelial cell phenotype as shown by morphologic criteria, characterized by polarized columnar epithelial cells with prominent microvilli and intercellular junctions. Organotypic cultures showed columnar cells simulating in vivo morphology. This culture system should be valuable in delineating cellular processes relating to CFTR in gallbladder epithelium.
