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

Gastruloids are three-dimensional aggregates, derived from mouse embryonic stem cells, that recapitulate key events of early embryogenesis. Protocols to generate gastruloids are highly sensitive to aggregation conditions, often resulting in variability. Here, we present an optimized method for generating gastruloids and extending their culture up to 168 h post-aggregation by embedding them in 10% Matrigel at 96 h. This protocol enables reproducible generation of gastruloids with derivatives of all three germ layers, providing an extended experimental window to study post-gastrulation developmental processes in vitro.
