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

Morphogens choreograph the generation of remarkable cellular diversity in the developing nervous system. Differentiation of stem cells in vitro often relies upon the combinatorial modulation of these signaling pathways. However, the lack of a systematic approach to understand morphogen-directed differentiation has precluded the generation of many neural cell populations, and the general principles of regional specification and maturation remain incomplete. Here, we developed an arrayed screen of 14 morphogen modulators in human neural organoids cultured for over 70 days. Deconvolution of single-cell-multiplexed RNA sequencing data revealed design principles of brain region specification. We tuned neural subtype diversity to generate a tachykinin 3 (TAC3)-expressing striatal interneuron type within assembloids. To circumvent limitations of in vitro neuronal maturation, we used a neonatal rat transplantation strategy that enabled human Purkinje neurons to develop their hallmark complex dendritic branching. This comprehensive platform yields insights into the factors influencing stem cell-derived neural diversification and maturation.
