iPSC-Derived Microglia-like Cells Exhibit Protocol-Dependent Transcriptomic Features and Robust Phagocytosis of Glioma Cells.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 are the brain-resident macrophages and key regulators of the brain tumor microenvironment. Although induced pluripotent stem cell-derived microglia (iMG) provide a valuable model for studying human microglial, systematic comparisons of differentiation protocols are limited, and their utility for modeling microglia-tumor cell interactions remains underexplored. Here, we analyzed 54 public RNA-seq datasets representing 22 iMG differentiation protocols, including embryoid body (EB)-based, two-dimensional (2D), transcription factor-induced, and coculture-based approaches. Most iMG closely resembled primary human microglia, although substantial protocol-dependent differences were observed. iMG generated using EB-based protocols showed higher
