"Periodontal ligament-on-chip" as a Novel Tool for Studies on the Physiology and Pathology of Periodontal Tissues.

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
Teeth exert fundamental physiological functions, such as mastication and speech, and are a key feature of oral health that affects life quality. Teeth are anchored to the alveolar bone via the periodontal ligament, which provides stability to the teeth and absorbs mechanical stresses during mastication. Periodontal infection leads to periodontitis, a severe inflammation of the supporting soft tissues that ultimately cause tooth loss. Despite the pressing need of periodontal regeneration for improved oral care, efficient in vitro models of the periodontal tissues are still missing, thus hampering the development of novel, faster, and more effective therapy modalities. Herein, a novel "periodontal ligament (PDL)-on-chip" model that integrates patient-derived periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs) and endothelial cells is introduced. This microfluidic platform provides optimal conditions for the formation of extensive and perfusable vascular networks. Furthermore, PDLCs elicit blood vessels' development and maturation while establishing close contacts with the endothelial cells. Potential applications for inflammatory periodontal diseases are also successfully displayed in the "PDL-on-chip" by stimulating inflammation and detecting inflammatory cytokines. This work offers a cornerstone for more complex and specialized microfluidic dental models, which are necessary to unravel complex oral diseases that affect individuals' general health that go beyond the field of dentistry.
