Graft-derived neurons and bystander effects are maintained for six months after human iPSC-derived NESC transplantation in mice's cerebella.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Machado-Joseph disease (MJD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by widespread neuronal death affecting the cerebellum. Cell therapy can trigger neuronal replacement and neuroprotection through bystander effects providing a therapeutic option for neurodegenerative diseases. Here, human control (CNT) and MJD iPSC-derived neuroepithelial stem cells (NESC) were established and tested for their therapeutic potential. Cells' neuroectodermal phenotype was demonstrated. Brain organoids obtained from the Control NESC showed higher mRNA levels of genes related to stem cells' bystander effects, such as BDNF, NEUROD1, and NOTCH1, as compared with organoids produced from MJD NESC, suggesting that Control NESC have a higher therapeutic potential. Graft-derived glia and neurons, such as cells positive for markers of cerebellar neurons, were detected six months after NESC transplantation in mice cerebella. The graft-derived neurons established excitatory and inhibitory synapses in the host cerebella, although CNT neurons exhibited higher excitatory synapse numbers compared with MJD neurons. Cell grafts, mainly CNT NESC, sustained the bystander effects through modulation of inflammatory interleukins (IL1B and IL10), neurotrophic factors (NGF), and neurogenesis-related proteins (Msi1 and NeuroD1), for six months in the mice cerebella. Altogether this study demonstrates the long-lasting therapeutic potential of human iPSC-derived NESC in the cerebellum.
