A microphysiologic human cervical model recapitulates microbial, immune, and pathogenic properties of sexually transmitted infections.
Article in Science advances, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) of the cervicovaginal mucosa are among the most common global infections. Current monolayer cell culture and animal models fail to reproduce the multilevel complexity required to investigate host-microbiota-pathogen relationships simultaneously and/or with sufficient physiological relevance. To address this limitation, we have developed a microphysiologic system (MPS) that models human cervical tissue and its microbiota and is susceptible to infection by two prominent genital pathogens,
