Asymmetric Stratification-Induced Polarity Loss and Coordinated Individual Cell Movements Drive Directional Migration of Vertebrate Epithelium.
Article in Cell reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Collective migration is essential for development, wound repair, and cancer metastasis. For most collective systems, "leader cells" determine both the direction and the power of the migration. It has remained unclear, however, how the highly polarized vertebrate epithelium migrates directionally during branching morphogenesis. We show here that, unlike in other systems, front-rear polarity of the mammary epithelium is set up by preferential cell proliferation in the front in response to the FGF10 gradient. This leads to frontal stratification, loss of apicobasal polarity, and leader cell formation. Leader cells are a dynamic population and move faster and more directionally toward the FGF10 signal than do follower cells, partly because of their intraepithelial protrusions toward the signal. Together, our data show that directional migration of the mammary epithelium is a unique multistep process and that, despite sharing remarkable cellular and molecular similarities, vertebrate and invertebrate epithelial branching are fundamentally distinct processes.
