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

Drug discovery and development continues to be a challenge to the pharmaceutical industry despite great advances in cell and molecular biology that allow for the design of better targeted therapeutics. Many potential drug compounds fail during the clinical trial due to inefficacy and toxicity that were not predicted during preclinical stages. The fundamental problem lies with the use of traditional drug screening models that still largely rely on the use of cell lines or animal cell monolayers, which leads to lack of predictive power of human tissue and organ response to the drug candidates. More physiologically relevant systems are therefore critical in relieving the burden of high failure rates. Emerging knowledge and techniques in tissue engineering and microfabrication have enabled the development of micro-engineered systems - collectively known as organs-on-chips - that may lead to a paradigm shift in preclinical drug screening assays. In this review we explore the technological advances and challenges in the development of heart-on-a-chip models, by addressing current assessment methods for drug-induced cardiotoxicity and providing a perspective on the modifications that should be implemented to realize the full potential of this system.
