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

Multi-organ-on-chip systems (MOOCs) have the potential to mimic communication between organ systems and reveal mechanisms of health and disease. However, many existing MOOCs are challenging for non-experts to implement due to complex tubing, electronics, or pump mechanisms. In addition, few MOOCs have incorporated immune organs such as the lymph node (LN), limiting their applicability to model critical events such as vaccination. Here we developed a 3D-printed, user-friendly device and companion tubing-free impeller pump with the capacity to co-culture two or more tissue samples, including a LN, under a recirculating common media. Native tissue structure and immune function were incorporated by maintaining slices of murine LN tissue
