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

Environmental pollutants; bioaerosols, chemicals and micro/nano-plastics (MNPs) can disrupt the mechano-biological processes of the human body, impairing structural, cellular, and molecular functions. Such disruptions may ultimately contribute to the onset of toxicity-associated pharmacokinetic disorders. CASE REPORT: Herein, we highlighted our iPSCs or patient-derived brain, lung, liver and intestinal organoid models, iPSCs-differentiated alveolar epithelial cell (AEC) and brain microvascular endothelial cell (BMVEC) barriers, and their OoC models to evaluate the effect of kinds of exposomes. We successfully characterized SPC+ AECs and CD31+ BMVECs with highly transepithelial electrical resistance values as a gold standart, IBA1+ microglia and CD31+ endothelial cells enriched, cortical plate structured advanced matured functional brain organoids, MUC1+ lung-like organoids, EPCAM+/ALB+ liver organoids and human crypt-derived intestinal organoids (Figure 1). Subsequently, we developed integratable organ-specific OoC models utilizing a layer-by-layer fabrication approach to enable co-culture systems of cells and organoids.

conclusionOur advanced bioengineered models demonstrated that environmental exposures significantly compromised barrier integrity, leading to increased translocation across the tissue construct, reduced cell-organoid viability, and dysregulated expression of inflammatory cytokines and immune cell activity. The resilience of human physiological barriers can be effectively modelled using humanized bioengineering platforms that emulate the dynamic mechanical and biochemical forces present
