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
Organ-on-a-chip (OoC) systems can simulate the key functions of human organs, combining microfluidics, cell culture, and biomaterials. 3D printing can be integrated into these technologies to facilitate the construction of OoC models. The high precision and layer-by-layer fabrication process of 3D printing not only enables the creation of complex structures for the microfluidic chip but also improves the cellular microenvironment within the chip by harnessing bioinks for 3D bioprinting. In recent years, OoC models established with 3D printing technology have successfully replicated the functions of various native organs, significantly advancing disease research and drug development. However, due to the complex anatomical structure and unique physiological functions of skeletal muscle, the application of 3D printing in skeletal muscle-on-a-chip (SMoC) models remains relatively limited. Based on existing research on engineered skeletal muscle and OoC, this review discusses the construction of SMoC models by 3D printing to recapitulate the anatomical structure and physiological functions of skeletal muscle. Furthermore, it explores the different applications of 3D printed SMoC models and the future challenges and prospects in this field.
