Protocol for generation of a 3D humanized lung-tumor-on-a-chip model of immune-hot and immune-cold microenvironments.
Article in STAR protocols, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The tumor microenvironment (TME) modulates immune responses and clinical outcomes. Here, we present a protocol to establish a fully humanized immune-hot and -cold lung TME using the Emulate organ-on-a-chip system by culturing human lung microvascular endothelial cells and human lung tumor cells. We describe steps for perfusing human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), visualizing immune cell recruitment, and analyzing immune infiltration across TME phenotypes through immunofluorescence, flow cytometry, or secretome analysis. This protocol can be adapted to model the TME in different cancer types.
