Transient culture of adult human hepatocytes as organoids improves engineered liver engraftment.
Article in Biomaterials, 2027. 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
Bioengineered livers could serve as a bridge or alternative to whole organ transplantation for patients suffering from liver disease. However, identifying cellular configurations that promote adult human hepatocyte survival after tissue transplantation remains a critical hurdle. We hypothesized that transient culture of adult hepatocytes in 3D as organoids would enhance engraftment of these cells in bioengineered tissues in vivo. Here, we established an organoid system that supports culture of adult human hepatocytes from eight different human adult donors aged 19-49. These organoids support retention of human hepatocyte morphology found in the mature liver, express an adult liver transcriptome, and exhibit mature functions such as inducible cytochrome activity. Importantly, adult human hepatocyte organoids (AHHO) improved engraftment of hepatocytes up to 25-fold in vivo in engineered tissues compared to previous hepatocyte models. Thus, 'priming' human cells in organoids could have a major impact on translational bioengineered tissue applications.
