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

Oxygen gradients are increasingly implicated in a number of biological processes, including stem cell differentiation and cancer metastasis. Unfortunately, the current in vitro tools designed to mimic conditions found in vivo lack application flexibility, simplicity in operation, and precise spatial control that most researchers require for widespread dissemination. The novel microfluidic-based device presented here addresses all the above concerns, offering a simple platform for enhanced control over the oxygen microenvironment exposed to three-dimensional cell-seeded constructs. The device utilizes an oxygen diffusion membrane approach to establish a gradient across a construct sandwiched between two continually perfused microfluidic networks. The device is capable of forming steady-state gradients at both the conditions tested-0 % to 5 % O₂ and 0 % to 21 % O₂-but a wide variety of profiles within the construct are possible. Cell viability with two model cell lines was also tested, with no adverse effects relative to the control.
