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
Current tumor models struggle to replicate the complexity of the tumor microenvironment, particularly endothelial sprouting and vascular-tumor interactions. To address these limitations, we developed a vascularized tumors-on-a-chip model by fusing tumor spheroids with HUVEC spheroids to simulate angiogenesis. The model incorporates hypoxia-driven cytokine secretion and dynamic endothelial penetration, enabling accurate recapitulation of angiogenic processes. Spheroids were optimized for size and viability, and four cancer types were studied, with GBM and A549 exhibiting the highest angiogenic potential, as confirmed by Z-stack imaging and qRT-PCR. Encapsulation in GelMA and integration into PDMS-based microfluidic chips provided a dynamic flow environment, mimicking
