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

Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) remains a challenge in drug development, and interspecies differences in liver toxicity represent a need where comparative analyses may inform preclinical safety study design. In vitro testing for species-specific liver effects, especially in complex models such as microphysiological systems (MPS), may help predict toxicity before advancing from animal to human studies, or derisk spurious findings in preclinical species. This study assessed the utility of the perfusion-based PhysioMimix LC12 MPS as compared to 2D cultures and evaluated species-specific DILI using primary hepatocytes from human, monkey, rat, and dog. Functional, phenotypic, and transcriptional profiles were evaluated for up to 14 days. Also, cells were exposed to species-specific hepatotoxicants such as bosentan (BOS), fialuridine (FIAU), and a common hepatotoxicant for all species, chlorpromazine (CPZ)in both PhysioMimix LC12 and traditional 2D cultures. Hepatocytes in PhysioMimix LC12 showed more stable albumin and urea production as compared to 2D cultures. Concentration-response studies with CPZ, BOS, and FIAU were performed in 2D; then, repeated (5 × every 2 days) exposures to sub-100 ×
