Micro-patterned culture of iPSC-derived alveolar and airway cells distinguishes SARS-CoV-2 variants.
Article in Stem cell reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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 emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants necessitated a rapid evaluation system for their pathogenesis. Lung epithelial cells are their entry points; however, in addition to their limited source, the culture of human alveolar epithelial cells is especially complicated. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are an alternative source of human primary stem cells. Here, we report a model for distinguishing SARS-CoV-2 variants at high resolution, using separately induced iPSC-derived alveolar and airway cells in micro-patterned culture plates. The position-specific signals induced the apical-out alveolar type 2 and multiciliated airway cells at the periphery and center of the colonies, respectively. The infection studies in each lineage enabled profiling of the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 variants: infection efficiency, tropism to alveolar and airway lineages, and their responses. These results indicate that this culture system is suitable for predicting the pathogenesis of emergent SARS-CoV-2 variants.
