Functional analysis of human brain endothelium using a microfluidic device integrating a cell culture insert.
Article in APL bioengineering, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a specialized brain endothelial barrier structure that regulates the highly selective transport of molecules under continuous blood flow. Recently, various types of BBB-on-chip models have been developed to mimic the microenvironmental cues that regulate the human BBB drug transport. However, technical difficulties in complex microfluidic systems limit their accessibility. Here, we propose a simple and easy-to-handle microfluidic device integrated with a cell culture insert to investigate the functional regulation of the human BBB endothelium in response to fluid shear stress (FSS). Using currently established immortalized human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMEC/ci18), we formed a BBB endothelial barrier without the substantial loss of barrier tightness under the relatively low range of FSS (0.1-1 dyn/cm
