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

Modeling human cardiac tissues in vitro is essential to elucidate the biological mechanisms related to the heart physiopathology, possibly paving the way for new treatments. Organs-on-chips have emerged as innovative tools able to recreate tissue-specific microenvironments, guiding the development of miniaturized models and offering the opportunity to directly analyze functional readouts. Here we describe the fabrication and operational procedures for the development of a heart-on-chip model, reproducing cardiac biomimetic microenvironment. The device provides 3D cardiac microtissue with a synchronized electromechanical stimulation to support the tissue development. We additionally describe procedures for characterizing tissue evolution and functionality through immunofluorescence, real time qPCR, calcium imaging and microtissue contractility investigations.
