iPSC-Derived Astrocytes and Neurons Replicate Brain Gene Expression, Epigenetic, Cell Morphology and Connectivity Alterations Found in Autism.
Article in Cells, 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
Excessive inflammatory reactions and oxidative stress are well-recognized molecular findings in autism and these processes can affect or be affected by the epigenetic landscape. Nonetheless, adequate therapeutics are unavailable, as patient-specific brain molecular markers for individualized therapies remain challenging.
methodsWe used iPSC-derived neurons and astrocytes of patients with autism vs. controls (5/group) to examine whether they replicate the postmortem brain expression/epigenetic alterations of autism. Additionally, DNA methylation of 10 postmortem brain samples (5/group) was analyzed for genes affected in PSC-derived cells.
resultsWe found hyperexpression of
conclusionAutism-associated expression/epigenetic alterations in iPSC-derived cells replicated those reported in the literature, making them appropriate surrogates to study disease pathogenesis or patient-specific therapeutics.
