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

NGN2-driven induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-to-neuron conversion is a popular method for human neurological disease modeling. In this study, we present a standardized approach for generating neurons utilizing clonal, targeted-engineered iPSC lines with defined reagents. We demonstrate consistent production of excitatory neurons at scale and long-term maintenance for at least 150 days. Temporal omics, electrophysiological, and morphological profiling indicate continued maturation to postnatal-like neurons. Quantitative characterizations through transcriptomic, imaging, and functional assays reveal coordinated actions of multiple pathways that drive neuronal maturation. We also show the expression of disease-related genes in these neurons to demonstrate the relevance of our protocol for modeling neurological disorders. Finally, we demonstrate efficient generation of NGN2-integrated iPSC lines. These workflows, profiling data, and functional characterizations enable the development of reproducible human in vitro models of neurological disorders.
