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

In recent years, neural organoids derived from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) have offered a transformative pre-clinical platform for understanding central nervous system (CNS) development, disease, drug effects, and toxicology. CNS vasculature plays an important role in all these scenarios; however, most published studies describe CNS organoids that lack a functional vasculature or demonstrate rudimentary incorporation of endothelial cells or blood vessel networks. Here, we review the existing knowledge of vascularization during the development of different CNS regions, including the brain, spinal cord, and retina, and compare it to vascularized CNS organoid models. We highlight several areas of contrast where further bioengineering innovation is needed and discuss potential applications of vascularized neural organoids in modeling human CNS development, physiology, and disease.
