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

This study evaluates the transplantation of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived retinal organoids into patients with advanced retinitis pigmentosa using adaptive optics optical coherence tomography (AO-OCT) to monitor retinal changes over two years post transplantation. Our results confirmed successful engraftment and increased retinal thickness, with AO-OCT providing detailed visualization of cellular structures such as an outer plexiform layer-like line and highly reflective particles within rosette-like formations, indicative of photoreceptor development. Immunohistological analysis in a parallel monkey model confirmed these structures as mature, functional photoreceptor rosettes. The integration of high-resolution AO-OCT with immunohistology provides critical insights into the structural and functional outcomes of transplantation and represents a promising advancement in the treatment of retinal degenerative diseases.
