3D reconstruction of structures of hatched larva and young juvenile of the larvacean Oikopleura dioica using SBF-SEM.
Article in Scientific reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
The larvacean Oikopleura dioica is a planktonic chordate and an emerging model organism with a short life cycle of 5 days that belongs toTunicata (Urochordata), the sister clade of vertebrates. It is characterized by the rapid development of a tadpole-shaped body. Organ formation in the trunk proceeds within 7 h after the hatching of the tailbud larvae at 3 h after fertilization (hpf) and is completed at 10 hpf, giving rise to fully functional juveniles as miniature adult form. Serial block face scanning electron microscopy was used to acquire ~ 2000 serial transverse section images of a 3 hpf larva and a 10 hpf juvenile to characterize the structures and cellular composition of the trunk and organs using 3D images and movies. Germ cells were found to fuse and establish a central syncytial cell in the gonad as early as 10 hpf. Larval development gave rise to functional organs after several rounds of cell division through trunk morphogenesis. The feature would make O. dioica ideal for analyzing cellular behaviors during morphogenetic processes using live imaging. The detailed descriptions of the larvae and juveniles provided in this study can be utilized as the start and end points of organ morphogenesis in this rapidly developing organism.
