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 blood-brain barrier (BBB) maintains cerebral homeostasis and protects the central nervous system (CNS) during systemic inflammation. Advanced in vitro models integrating circulation, a functional BBB, and reactive glial cells are essential for studying the link between peripheral inflammation and neuroinflammation. Fluid shear stress, a key hemodynamic parameter, strengthens microvascular barriers. This study examines endothelial shear conditioning on barrier function in a fluidic µSiM-BBB (Microphysiological System featuring a Silicon Membrane -BBB). hiPSC-derived brain microvascular endothelial cell monocultures are conditioned with 0.5 Pa shear stress for 48 h. Shear conditioning lowers baseline permeability, increases glycocalyx production, and reduces responses to inflammatory challenges, including barrier breakdown, ICAM-1 upregulation, and neutrophil transmigration. Shear conditioning produces a resilient barrier function against a low-dose inflammatory challenge (10 pg mL
