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

Capillary malformation (CM) is a congenital vascular anomaly that affects the skin, mucosa, eye, and brain. A major obstacle to mechanistic and drug screening studies for CM has been the lack of preclinical models. In this study, we established vascular organoids (VOs) generated through the self-assembly of vascular lineages of endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells differentiated from CM-induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC). Within these VOs induced endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells organized into juxtapositions to form vascular branches. CM patient iPSC-derived VOs showed a higher density of endothelial and smooth muscle cell populations and greater vascular branch lengths as compared with VOs derived from iPSCs generated from healthy skin biopsies. Overall, this study represents the first disease-relevant VO model of CM, providing a valuable platform for future mechanistic studies and drug screening.
