Development of Drug Efficacy Testing Platform for Glomerulonephritis.
Article in Micromachines, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
We developed a 3D glomeruli tissue chip for glomerulonephritis (GN) testing, featuring a gravity-driven glomerular filtration barrier (GFB) with human podocytes and endothelial cells with a bidirectional flow in the bottom channel. Using puromycin-induced GN, we observed decreased cell viability, increased albumin permeability, and reduced WT1 and nephrin compared to the normal GFB. Tacrolimus restored cell viability, reduced albumin permeability, and increased WT1 expression. Using serum from five membranous nephropathy (MN) patients, we created MN models using a GFB-mimicking chip. A notable decline in cell viability was observed in the serum-induced MN1 and MN2 models. However, tacrolimus restored it. Albumin permeability was reduced in the MN1, MN2, and MN5 models by tacrolimus treatment. MN1 displayed the best clinical response to tacrolimus, exhibiting increased expression of WT1 in chip-based evaluations after tacrolimus treatment. We successfully evaluated the efficacy of tacrolimus using puromycin-induced and serum-induced GN models on a chip that mimicked the structure and function of the GFB. The GFB-mimicking chip holds promise as a personalized platform for assessing drug efficacy using patient serum samples.
