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

"Organoid medicine" has rapidly progressed over the past decade as a new class of therapeutics with high functionality and complexity for addressing unmet medical needs such as effective treatment of patients suffering from chronic liver disease using liver organoids. Here, we established scalable and xeno-free integrated differentiation platforms to generate hepatic progenitors, mesenchymal stromal cells, and endothelial cells using individual human pluripotent stem cell lines (hPSCs) as starting cell types for vascularized liver organoids generation. A scalable microfluidic system was developed to continuously generate cells-loaded microcapsules with self-biodegradable 4-arm-PEG-MMP1-sensitive peptide hydrogel as shell material, to support cells proliferation, self-condensation, and liver organoids generation thorough self-organization. Self-organized vascularized hepatobiliary organoids containing inter-connected biliary networks and vascular structures were generated after optimizing the co-culture conditions inside hydrogel microcapsules and transferring the organoids to 3D dynamic suspension culture for further maturation. The vascularized hepatobiliary organoids showed key functional features that were similar to the fetal and adult liver tissue including the expression of liver-specific marker genes, the ability to perform main liver metabolic functions, and inducing drug metabolism. The established platforms could be beneficial to the mass production of human liver organoids for liver organoid medicine and the development of safe, effective, and personalized drugs.
