Pax6 mutant cerebral organoids partially recapitulate phenotypes of Pax6 mutant mouse strains.
Article in PloS one, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Cerebral organoids show great promise as tools to unravel the complex mechanisms by which the mammalian brain develops during embryogenesis. We generated mouse cerebral organoids harbouring constitutive or conditional mutations in Pax6, which encodes a transcription factor with multiple important roles in brain development. By comparing the phenotypes of mutant organoids with the well-described phenotypes of Pax6 mutant mouse embryos, we evaluated the extent to which cerebral organoids reproduce phenotypes previously described in vivo. Organoids lacking Pax6 showed multiple phenotypes associated with its activity in mice, including precocious neural differentiation, altered cell cycle and an increase in abventricular mitoses. Neural progenitors in both Pax6 mutant and wild type control organoids cycled more slowly than their in vivo counterparts, but nonetheless we were able to identify clear changes to cell cycle attributable to the absence of Pax6. Our findings support the value of cerebral organoids as tools to explore mechanisms of brain development, complementing the use of mouse models.
