Standardized Protocol for the Preparation of Precision-Cut Kidney Slices: A Translational Model of Renal Fibrosis.

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
Renal fibrosis is a hallmark of progressive renal diseases. To date, there is a lack of effective therapeutics for the treatment of renal fibrosis, in part due to the scarcity of clinically relevant translational disease models. Since the early 1920s, hand-cut tissue slices have been used as a means to better understand organ (patho)physiology in a variety of scientific fields. From that time, the equipment and methodology for the preparation of tissue slices has continuously improved, thereby expanding the applicability of the model. Nowadays, precision-cut kidney slices (PCKS) have been demonstrated to be an extremely valuable translation model for renal (patho)physiology, bridging the gap between preclinical and clinical research. A key feature of PCKS is that the slices contain all cell types and acellular components of the whole organ in the original configuration while preserving cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. In this chapter, we describe how to prepare PCKS and how the model can be implemented in fibrosis research.
