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

Understanding human brain development and disease is largely hampered by the relative inaccessibility of human brain tissues. Recent advances in human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) have led to the generation of unlimited human neural cells and thereby facilitate the investigation of human brain development and pathology. Compared with traditional 2-dimensional (2D) culture methods, culturing the hiPSC-derived neural cells in a three-dimensional (3D) free-floating manner generates human central nervous system (CNS) organoids. These 3D CNS organoids possess the unique advantage of recapitulating multi-regional or region-specific cytoarchitecture seen in the early human fetal brain development. The CNS organoids are becoming a strong complement to the animal model in studying brain development and pathology, and developing new therapies to treat neurodevelopmental diseases. Further improvements to the long-term maintenance and neural maturation of the organoids may allow them to model neurodegenerative diseases. In this review, we will summarize the current development of hiPSCs to generate CNS organoids for modeling neurological disorders and future perspective.
