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

Human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived alveolar organoids have emerged as valuable tools for studying lung development, modeling pulmonary diseases, and drug discovery, though their application has been hindered by laborious differentiation protocols and technical complexity. Here, we present an hPSC-derived alveolar organoid (hALO) system with exceptional long-term expandability (>30 passages), efficient cryopreservation resilience, and streamlined production achieved through earlier 3D culture initiation and elimination of cell sorting requirements. Transcriptomic analysis across passages confirmed hALOs contain alveolar progenitors and AT2 lineages, recapitulating pseudoglandular-to-canalicular development while partially maintaining adult AT2 immune-related functions. The system permits alveolar epithelial differentiation via pharmacological modulation of WNT/YAP signaling or through orthotopic transplantation, while multiplex genetic engineering enables programmable disease modeling and adenocarcinoma pathogenesis studies. These versatile capabilities establish hALOs as a robust dual-phase platform for mechanistic investigation of lung epithelial biology and disease modeling across
