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

Background and Aims: Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a major failure mode in pharmaceutical development. This study aims to address the limitations of existing preclinical models by assessing a high-throughput, microfluidic liver-on-a-chip system, termed "Curio Barrier Liver Chips," and its capacity to recapitulate the effects of chronic hepatotoxic drug treatment through metabolic and phenotypic characterization. Methods: Curio Barrier liver chips (Curiochips), fabricated in an 8 × 2 well configuration, were utilized to establish three dimensional liver organoid cultures. Human-induced pluripotent stem cells were differentiated into human liver organoids, and their viability, liver-specific functions, and pharmacological responses were assessed over 28 days. Results: The Curiochips successfully maintained liver physiology and function, showing strong albumin secretion and cytochrome (CYP) P450 activities for 28 days. Unlike traditional models requiring millimolar drug concentrations to detect hepatotoxicity, this platform showed increased sensitivity for acetaminophen and fialuridine at micromolar concentrations. Conclusion: The Curiochips offer an advanced, miniaturized
