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

Free-standing tissue structures tethered between pillars are powerful mechanobiology tools for studying cell contraction. To model interfaces ubiquitous in natural tissues and upgrade existing single-region suspended constructs, we developed Suspended Tissue Open Microfluidic Patterning (STOMP), a method to create multi-regional suspended tissues. STOMP uses open microfluidics and capillary pinning to pattern subregions within free-standing tissues, facilitating the study of complex tissue interfaces, such as diseased-healthy boundaries (e.g., fibrotic-healthy) and tissue-type interfaces (e.g., bone-ligament). We observed altered contractile dynamics in fibrotic-healthy engineered heart tissues compared to single-region tissues and differing contractility in bone-ligament enthesis constructs compared to single-tissue periodontal ligament models. STOMP is a versatile platform - surface tension-driven patterning removes material requirements common with other patterning methods (e.g., shear-thinning, photopolymerizable) allowing tissue generation in multiple geometries with native extracellular matrices and advanced four-dimensional (4D) materials. STOMP combines the contractile functionality of suspended tissues with precise patterning, enabling dynamic and spatially controlled studies.
