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 cortical development is an intricate process resulting in the generation of many interacting cell types and long-range connections to and from other brain regions. Human stem cell-derived cortical organoids are now becoming widely used to model human cortical development both in physiological and pathological conditions, as they offer the advantage of recapitulating human-specific aspects of corticogenesis that were previously inaccessible. Understanding the electrophysiological properties and functional maturation of neurons derived from human cortical organoids is key to ensure their physiological and pathological relevance. Here we review existing data on the electrophysiological properties of neurons in human cortical organoids, as well as recent advances in the complexity of cortical organoid modeling that have led to improvements in functional maturation at single neuron and neuronal network levels. Eventually, a more comprehensive and standardized electrophysiological characterization of these models will allow to better understand human neurophysiology, model diseases and test novel treatments.
