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

Several HepaRG three-dimensional (3D) in vitro model systems have been developed to improve the predictability of xenobiotic metabolism and toxicity. In this review, we present a detailed summary and critique of the performance of various HepaRG 3D models compared to the conventional 2D monolayer culture. HepaRG 3D models can be broadly categorized into (1) scaffold-free, (2) scaffold-based, and (3) bioartificial liver (BAL) models. With respect to the scaffold-free configurations, the hanging drop model closely mimics the normal physiological function and metabolic profile of the liver. The micromold model is suitable for high-throughput multiplexed assays and exhibits higher accuracy when predicting drug-induced liver toxicity risk in both acute and chronic culture. Scaffold- and BAL-based models also present improved precision and accuracy for hepatotoxic drug screening in addition to allowing improved model control to closely mimic physiological assay conditions. Overall, all 3D HepaRG models exhibit improved cellular function, metabolic activity, and toxicity screening ability compared to the conventional 2D monolayer culture. These improvements reported in 3D models may be due to a higher degree of differentiation and cell polarity. Nevertheless, the expression and functions of various phase II, phase III, and nuclear receptors need to be further characterized in these 3D models.
