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

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterised by progressive dementia, brain atrophy, and ultimately death. Using cerebral organoids derived from human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) carrying the familial PSEN1 A246E variant, we investigated the temporal relationship between amyloid-β (Aβ) dysregulation and spontaneous neuronal activity. Multielectrode array recordings from the differentiation day 60 (DD60) to at least DD130 revealed that AD organoids exhibited transient hyperexcitability and hypersynchrony compared with wild-type (WT) controls, followed by a gradual decline in activity. During the enhanced excitability stage, both elevated Aβ42/40 and Aβ aggregate size showed positive correlations with the percentage of active electrodes and the global synchrony index (GSI) in AD organoids. These findings indicate that Aβ dysregulation might contribute to transient network hyperexcitability in early AD. The results also suggest that patient-derived cerebral organoids may serve as a translational model to examine early network dysfunction and inform future investigations of potential Aβ-induced changes in excitability during the preclinical stages of AD.
