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

The vasculature of stem-cell-derived liver organoids can be engineered using methods that recapitulate embryonic liver development. Hepatic organoids with a vascular network offer great application prospects for drug screening, disease modeling, and therapeutics. However, the application of stem cell-derived organoids is hindered by insufficient vascularization and maturation. Here, we review different theories about the origin of hepatic cells and the morphogenesis of hepatic vessels to provide potential approaches for organoid generation. We also review the main protocols for generating vascularized liver organoids from stem cells and consider their potential and limitations in the generation of vascularized liver organoids.
