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

Engineering jawbone tissues from pluripotent stem cells presents a challenge owing to the lack of protocols for selectively inducing the jawbone progenitor, the first pharyngeal arch (PA1) ectomesenchyme, and for recapitulating three-dimensional osteocyte networks. Here we present a method for generating jawbone-like organoids from human induced pluripotent stem cells through PA1 ectomesenchyme of the mandibular prominence (mdEM). A three-dimensional culture system enables sequential differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cells into neural crest cells and mdEM. The mdEM exhibits proximal-distal patterning from the centre outwards, mirroring mandibular development. The introduction of exogenous pharyngeal epithelial signals induces mandibular prominence-specific regional patterning in the mdEM. When cultured under osteogenic conditions, the mdEM forms jawbone-like organoids comprising osteoblasts and network-forming osteocytes embedded in self-produced mineralized bone matrices. Moreover, these organoids promote bone regeneration when transplanted into jaws containing bone defects and recapitulate phenotypes of osteogenesis imperfecta, a genetic disorder characterized by fragile bones, using patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells. Our protocols establish a foundation for investigating human jaw embryology and pathophysiology.
