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

The research of primary urological cancers, including bladder cancer (BCa), prostate cancer (PCa), and renal cancer (RCa), has developed rapidly. Microfluidic technology provides a good variety of benefits compared to the heterogeneity of animal models and potential ethical issues of human study. Microfluidic technology and its application with cell culture (e.g., organ-on-a-chip, OOC) are extensively used in urological cancer studies in preclinical and clinical settings. The application has provided diagnostic and therapeutic benefits for patients with urological diseases, especially by evaluating biomarkers for urinary malignancies. In this review, we go through the applications of OOC in BCa, Pca and Rca, and discuss the prospects of reducing the cost and improving the repeatability and amicability of the intelligent integration of urinary system organ chips.
