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

Human space exploration exposes astronauts to environmental stressors including microgravity (µg) and ionizing radiation, which may adversely affect cardiovascular health. Human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived cardiac organoids, also referred to as cardioids, provide a physiologically relevant model to investigate these effects, but preservation of complex 3D tissues remains challenging. Current methods rely mainly on cryopreservation, creating variability and logistical constraints, particularly for spaceflight research. Alternative preservation strategies suitable for both ground-based and space experiments are therefore needed. In this study, human cardiac organoids were exposed to simulated µg (sµg) using a random positioning machine (RPM) and to a mixed neutron-photon field generated by a Californium-252 (
