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

Organ-on-a-Chip (OOC) technology offers a powerful platform for replicating human tissue-specific microenvironments, thereby narrowing the translational gap between conventional biomedical models and actual human physiology. Concurrently, omics technologies deliver comprehensive molecular-level insights into biological systems. This review highlights the transformative potential of integrating OOC platforms with high-throughput omics methodologies. We systematically examine the classification, structural configurations, and engineering principles underlying OOC systems, alongside the defining attributes of key omics domains-genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics. The convergence of dynamic OOC models with advanced omics technologies enables high-resolution, multi-dimensional analyses across numerous biomedical applications, including drug metabolism, disease mechanisms, environmental toxicity assessments, and host-microbiome interactions. This interdisciplinary integration is driving a paradigm shift in precision and translational medicine. However, several challenges remain to be addressed, such as the development of whole-organ mimetics, adaptation of sample collection techniques, and real-time artificial intelligence-based integration of biosensor data with multi-omics datasets. Addressing these hurdles will be vital for unlocking the full potential of this technological synergy in biomedical science.
