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

Most current information about neurological disorders and diseases is derived from direct patient and animal studies. However, patient studies in many cases do not allow replication of the early stages of the disease and, therefore, offer limited opportunities to understand disease progression. On the other hand, although the use of animal models allows us to study the mechanisms of the disease, they present significant limitations in developing drugs for humans. Recently, 3D-cultured in vitro models derived from human pluripotent stem cells have surfaced as a promising system. They offer the potential to connect findings from patient studies with those from animal models. In this comprehensive review, we discuss their application in modeling neurodevelopmental conditions such as Down Syndrome or Autism, neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's, and viral diseases like Zika virus or HIV. Furthermore, we will discuss the different models used to study prenatal exposure to drugs of abuse, as well as the limitations and challenges that must be met to transform the landscape of research on human brain disorders.
