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

Multi-cellular organoids are self-assembly aggregates that mimic biological functions and developmental processes of many tissue types in vitro. They are widely employed for disease modeling and functional studies. Hypothalamus-pituitary organoids can be generated through differentiation induction from pluripotent stem cells. However, their maturation is time consuming and labor intensive, and the quality of the resulting organoids can vary. Here, we developed a machine learning model capable of accurately predicting the successful generation of high-quality hypothalamus-pituitary organoids based solely on phase-contrast images captured during the early stage of differentiation. The model achieved an accuracy of 79% using images from organoids on day 9 to predict pituitary cell differentiation at day 40. Moreover, the computational approach identified the shape of the organoid surface as a critical determining factor that significantly affected the prediction. This model can help to enhance the efficiency of organoid induction experiments and illuminate the molecular mechanisms involved in hypothalamus-pituitary differentiation.
