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

A complex assortment of neuronal cells contributes to distinct functional circuits in the human brain. Such diversity is imposed upon pluripotent stem cells by a patterning process that begins much before the start of neurogenesis. Neural tube patterning relies on morphogens-diffusible signals that regulate transcription factor networks in progenitor cells, guiding spatial and temporal identity formation. Studying early human patterning in vivo is limited by access to embryonic tissue. Recent advances in stem cell technologies, including brain organoids, brain-on-chip systems, and assembloids, allow to explore morphogen-driven neurodevelopment. In this review, we highlight key mechanisms of neural tube patterning and how they enable insights into human brain development and neuropsychiatric disorders.
