Generation of Prefrontal Cortex Neurons from Human Pluripotent Stem Cells Under Chemically Defined Conditions.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) have the potential to differentiate into all human somatic cell types allowing for an experimental platform to access otherwise inaccessible tissues through directed differentiation protocols. Access to tissue is especially critical for neurobiology where functional human tissue is rare. The prefrontal cortex is an evolutionarily expanded addition to the cerebral cortex, associated with higher order cognitive function. Here, we present a method to generate neural progenitors and post-mitotic neurons with a prefrontal cortical identity through the directed differentiation of hPSCs under defined conditions. Neural induction is achieved by inhibiting TGF beta and BMP signaling (termed dual-SMAD inhibition) and neural progenitors are subsequently patterned toward the prefrontal cortex lineage using recombinant FGF8. Cells generated using this protocol open possibilities to study the unique developmental and synaptic properties of the prefrontal cortex, as well as to understand its selective vulnerability in a number of human brain disorders.
