Modeling Alzheimer's disease with brain organoids: mechanisms, applications, and future directions.
Review in Frontiers in cell and developmental biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Human pluripotent stem cell-derived brain organoids have emerged as a transformative platform for modeling Alzheimer's disease (AD), thus addressing long-standing translational obstacles posed by the disease's complex etiology and interspecies differences. This review systematically examines methodological advances in brain organoid technology, from basic fabrication and brain-region-specific organoids to multicellular assembloids that incorporate microglia and vascular components, with an emphasis on strategies for overcoming fetal-like phenotypes. We surveyed literature published between 2018 and April 2026 that focused on human iPSC-derived organoid models that recapitulate core AD pathologies, including Aβ plaques, tau tangles, neuroinflammation, and blood-brain barrier dysfunction. Key findings demonstrate that organoids effectively capture genotype-phenotype relationships for major AD genes (
