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

Physiologically relevant 3D tumor models incorporating extracellular matrix (ECM) and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are essential for studying tumor progression and drug resistance, yet often suffer from hydrogel contraction and instability-especially in microfluidic formats, where ECM deformation hampers long-term culture and quantitative imaging. Here, we present a microfluidic tumor-fibroblast co-culture platform for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) that overcomes these limitations via a dual strategy: APTES-mediated surface silanization anchors the ECM to the chip, combined with Genipin-based crosslinking, which modestly increases hydrogel stiffness and progressively reinforces the network without compromising cell viability, as confirmed by time- and frequency-resolved rheology. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) verified successful collagen crosslinking while preserving reactive ─OH and ─NH
