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

Thyroid organoids, three-dimensional in vitro models derived from stem cells, have emerged as a powerful tool for studying thyroid development, function, and disease mechanisms. These organoids recapitulate the key aspects of the thyroid gland, including the follicular structure, hormone production, and response to stimuli such as to the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). Recent advances in thyroid organoid technology have established the basis for the modeling of development and thyroid diseases, including congenital hypothyroidism (CH), autoimmune conditions like Graves' disease and Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and other thyroid-related disorders. By utilizing pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) and adult tissue, researchers have generated organoid models suitable for dissecting the mechanisms associated with thyroid development while mimicking the genetic, functional, and inflammatory characteristics of thyroid diseases. Additionally, thyroid organoids offer the potential for personalized medicine by providing a platform to test therapies in a more clinically relevant context. This review highlights the recent progress in thyroid organoid generation, discusses their applications in dissecting the thyroid development mechanisms and disease modeling, and explores their potential for advancing our understanding of the thyroid physiology and pathology. Furthermore, we address the challenges and future directions in the optimization and use of thyroid organoids in translational research.
