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

The choroid plexus (ChP) is a key brain structure responsible for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) production and forms a selective barrier that regulates brain homeostasis and immune surveillance. In vitro models of ChP are essential for studying CSF dynamics, viral entry, neuroinflammation, and CNS drug transport; yet current organoid protocols remain complex, slow, and difficult to reproduce. Here, we report a quick and robust method for the generation of human iPSC-derived ChP organoids that is xeno-free and serum-free, scalable, and reproducible. Early GSK3β inhibition and transient WNT modulation guide organoids toward cystic ChP-enriched structures, confirmed by ventricle-like morphology, and expression of canonical markers (TTR, ZO-1). This minimal workflow enables rapid production of ChP-like organoids that recapitulate ChP morphology and marker expression, providing a potential platform for studies of cerebrospinal fluid physiology, barrier modelling, and translational neuroscience.
