Redefining Cell Culture Using a 3D Flipwell Co-culture System: A Mimetic for Gut Architecture and Dynamics In Vitro.
Article in Current protocols, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Gut mucosae are composed of stratified layers of microbes, a selectively permeable mucus, an epithelial lining, and connective tissue homing immune cells. Studying cellular and chemical interactions between the gut mucosal components has been limited without a good model system. We have engineered a three-dimensional (3D) multi-cellular co-culture system we coined "3D Flipwell system" using cell culture inserts stacked against each other. This system allows an assessment of the impact of a gut mucosal environmental change on interactions between gut bacteria, epithelia, and immune cells. As such, this system can be utilized in examining the effects of exogenous stimuli, such as dietary nutrients, bacterial infection, and drugs, on the gut mucosa that could predetermine how these stimuli might influence the rest of body. Here, we describe the methods of construction and application of the new 3D Flipwell system we utilized previously in assessing the crosstalk between the gut mucosa and macrophage polarization. We demonstrate the physiological responses of different components of the co-cultures to Sepiapterin (SEP), the precursor of the nitric oxide synthase cofactor tetrahydrobiopterin (BH
