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

Organ-on-Chip systems demonstrate significant potential as next-generation models to study human (patho)physiology and to assess new therapies. Whereas on-chip models of soft tissues and organs have progressed substantially over the past decade, the development of bone-on-chip (BoC) systems remains comparatively slower. This slower progress stems from the structural and functional complexity of bone tissue, which hampers efforts to recapitulate bone (patho)physiology on-chip. Advances in bone tissue engineering (BTE) now provide opportunities regarding i) innovative biomaterials design strategies and ii) advanced bioengineering tools, enabling a closer replication of the architectural and functional complexity of native bone. However, these technological advances have primarily resulted in improved regenerative therapies, while also offering opportunities for innovative BoC designs. This perspective article identifies key requirements for BoCs, explores existing models and their respective advantages and limitations. Subsequently, opportunities derived from BTE are highlighted to accelerate the development of BoCs which more accurately capture crucial features of in vivo bone (patho)physiology. Finally, key considerations for BoC design are discussed, and an outlook for further developments in this emerging field is provided.
