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

Organoids are three-dimensional, miniaturized tissue-like structures derived from either stem cells or primary cells, emerging as powerful in vitro models for studying developmental biology, disease pathology, and drug discovery. These organoids more accurately mimic cell-cell interactions and complexities of human tissues compared to traditional cell cultures. However, challenges such as limited nutrient supply and biomechanical cue replication hinder their maturation and viability. Microfluidic technologies, with their ability to control fluid flow and mimic the mechanical environment of tissues, have been integrated with organoids to create organoid-on-chip models that address these limitations. These models not only improve the physiological relevance of organoids but also enable more precise investigation of disease mechanisms and therapeutic responses. By combining microfluidics and organoids, several advanced organoids-on-chip models have been developed to investigate mechanical and biochemical cues involved in disease progression. This review discusses various methods to develop organoids-on-chip and the recently established organoids-on-chip models with their advanced functions. Finally, we highlighted potential strategies to enhance the functionality of organoid models, aiming to overcome current limitations and bridge the gap between current cell culture models and clinical applications, advancing personalized medicine, and improving therapeutic testing.
