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

Renewable and scalable human liver tissue platforms are a powerful tool to study organ physiology and model diseases, such as cancer. Stem cell-derived models provide an alternative to cell lines, which can display limited relevance to primary cells and tissue. Historically, two-dimensional (2D) cultures have been used to model liver biology as they are easy to scale and deploy. However, 2D liver models lack functional diversity and phenotypic stability in long-term culture. To address those issues, protocols for generating the three-dimensional (3D) tissue aggregates have been developed. Here, we describe a methodology to generate 3D liver spheres from pluripotent stem cells. Liver spheres are composed of three key liver cell types (hepatic progenitor cells, endothelial cells, and hepatic stellate cells) and have been used to study human cancer cell metastasis.
