In depth characterization of midbrain organoids derived from wild type iPSC lines.
Article in PloS one, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 ability to model human neurological tissues in vitro has been a major hurdle to effective drug development for neurological disorders. iPSC-derived brain organoids have emerged as a compelling solution to this problem as they have the potential to relevantly model the protein expression pattern and physiology of specific brain regions. Although many protocols now exist for the production of brain organoids, few attempts have been made to do an in-depth kinetic evaluation of expression of mature regiospecific markers of brain organoids. To address this, we differentiated midbrain-specific brain organoids from iPSC-lines derived from three apparently healthy individuals using a matrix-free, bioreactor method. We monitored the expression of midbrain-specific neuronal markers from 7 to 90-days using immunofluorescence and immunohistology. The organoids were further characterized using electron microscopy and RNA-seq. In addition to serving as a potential benchmark for the future evaluation of other differentiation protocols, the markers observed in this study can be useful as control parameters to identify and evaluate the disease phenotypes in midbrain organoid derived from patient iPSC-lines with genetic neurological disorders.
