Pig Taste Cell-derived Organoids Synthesize Insulin.
Article in Endocrinology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Here we describe organoid cultures derived from pig foliate taste papillae in which the cellular heterogeneity of the lingual epithelium is preserved. Pig taste organoids were maintained long term (18 passages) and continued to express taste stem cell markers (LGR4, LGR6, and SOX2) and taste receptor cell (TRC) markers (cytokeratin 20, ENTPD2, GNAT3, and OTOP1). We show insulin is necessary for optimum proliferation and differentiation of taste organoids. Some TRCs in the organoids contained insulin and the insulin-critical transcription factors MAFA and PAX4. However, we did not see any evidence of the critical glucose-responsive PDX-1 expression either in the native tissue or in the organoids. We optimized differentiation conditions for TRC expression and separately for increased insulin protein content (6.5-fold, P < .01 vs spontaneous differentiation). Insulin production in differentiated organoids was responsive to cAMP stimuli. These results provide a pig model of taste organoid culture that can be used to study taste stem cell dynamics and taste receptor cell differentiation. These findings suggest that taste organoids may serve as a novel renewable model system for studying extra-pancreatic, nonglucose-regulated insulin and its potential role as a trophic factor.
