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

Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) are sources of several somatic cell types for human developmental studies, in vitro disease modeling, and cell transplantation therapy. Improving strategies of derivation of high-purity specific neural and glial lineages from hPSCs is critical for application to the study and therapy of the nervous system. Here, we will focus on the principles behind establishment of neuron and glia differentiation methods according to developmental studies. We will also highlight the limitations and challenges associated with the differentiation of several "difficult" neural lineages and delay in neuronal maturation and functional integration. To overcome these challenges, we will introduce strategies and novel technologies aimed at improving the differentiation of various neural lineages to expand the application potential of hPSCs to the study of the nervous system.
