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

Vascular diseases are the underlying pathology in many life-threatening illnesses. Human cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in angiogenesis are complex and difficult to study in current 2D in vitro and in vivo animal models. Engineered 3D in vitro models that incorporate human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC) derived endothelial cells (ECs) and supportive biomaterials within a dynamic microfluidic platform provide a less expensive, more controlled, and reproducible platform to better study angiogenic processes in response to external chemical or physical stimulus. Current studies to develop 3D in vitro angiogenesis models aim to establish single-source systems by incorporating hPSC-ECs into biomimetic extracellular matrices (ECM) and microfluidic devices to create a patient-specific, physiologically relevant platform that facilitates preclinical study of endothelial cell-ECM interactions, vascular disease pathology, and drug treatment pharmacokinetics. This review provides a detailed description of the current methods used for the directed differentiation of human stem cells to endothelial cells and their use in engineered 3D in vitro angiogenesis models that have been developed within the last 10 years.
