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

Microfluidic chips provide versatile tools to mimic the biological effect of blood flow on pluripotent stem cells (PSC). This paper presents methods for the use of microfluidics to model embryonic circulation using differentiated PSC. Pulsatile circulatory flow is created with a microfluidics device with pressure-driven microvalves and ventricles. Silicone rubber devices are cast from moulds manufactured using standard and 3D laser lithography. The surface chemistry is modified to support the growth of human umbilical vein endothelial cells and pluripotent stem cells. Pulsatile circulatory fluid flow can be applied at specific stages of cell differentiation with direct observation of cellular responses by time-lapse fluorescent microscopy.•Replicable manufacturing protocol of lab scale microfluidic device generating pulsatile fluid flow mimicry embryonic blood circulation.•Integration of human cell lines on microfluidic chip.
