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
introductionLung and breast cancers are among the most common types of cancer worldwide, with approximately 2.5 million new cases occurring each year. MATERIAL AND
methodsLung cancer metastasis-on-a-chip platform consists of two PDMS layers, where two tissue chambers represent the lung and bone compartments, and a single microchannel serve as the vascular lumen. The dual-chamber microfluidic system integrates lung cancer epithelial and stromal cells in one compartment and human osteoblasts encapsulated in gelatin methacrylate hydrogel in the other, enabling dynamic study of EMT and cancer cell migration. Time-lapse fluorescence microscopy was employed to visualize real-time cellular dynamics and migration events. ELISA was used to quantify secreted EMT-related proteins, while quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was performed to assess gene expression changes associated with metastatic progression. RESULTS AND
conclusionMicroscopic observations demonstrated that lung cancer cells successfully metastasize to bone stroma and disrupt the bone microenvironment, like the
