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

Microglia, the brain-resident macrophages, are critically involved in numerous physiological and pathological brain processes, including neoplasms, epilepsy, and neurodegeneration. However, investigating microglial function is notoriously difficult because they are extremely sensitive to changes in their environment and drastically alter their transcriptional state and morphology once they are isolated from the brain and cultured in vitro. In vivo experiments in mice are likewise limited because of vast differences between mouse and human microglia, particularly regarding the expression of disease-associated genes. To overcome this issue, we developed a highly controlled in vitro cerebral organoid platform where human microglia adopt an in vivo-like phenotype. This approach allows long-term studies and high-throughput analysis of in vivo-like human microglia suitable for disease modeling and drug testing.
