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

In recent years, researchers have successfully generated many human and mammalian organoid models, including organoids representing the intestine, prostate, ovary, bladder, liver, and brain. Therefore, organoids have become an important research model in the fields of regenerative medicine, drug research, and gene therapy, acting as a bridge between in vivo and in vitro experiments. In addition, testicular organoids (TOs) represent the highest level of in vitro culture of spermatogenic cells in a simulated testicular environment. However, the generation of TOs is still in the early stages, and there is still much room for improvement in dealing with the many challenges and prospects to achieve the goal of TOs that simulate the testicular microenvironment in vitro or even reconstruct the process of spermatogenesis without the need to reconstruct seminiferous tubules. We review the brief history of TO generation and some major strategies for functional applications of TOs, which are the main concerns of our clinicians and laboratory researchers.
