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

Immunocompetent and experimentally accessible alveolar systems to study human respiratory diseases are lacking. Here, we developed a single-donor human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived lung-on-chip (iLoC) containing type II and I alveolar epithelial cells, vascular endothelial cells, and macrophages in a microfluidic device that mimic lung three-dimensional mechanical stretching and air-liquid interface. Imaging and single-cell RNA sequencing analysis revealed that the iLoC recapitulated cellular profiles present in the human distal lung. Infection of the iLoC with the human pathogen
