Augmented BMP4 signal impairs tongue myogenesis.
Article in Journal of molecular histology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Tongue muscles are derived from mesodermal cells, while signals driven by cranial neural crest cells (CNCCs) regulate tongue myogenesis via tissue-tissue interaction. Based on such mechanisms of interaction, congenital tongue defects occur in CNC-related syndromes in humans. This study utilized a pathologic model for the syndrome of congenital bony syngnathia, Wnt1-Cre;pMes-Bmp4 mouse line, to explore impacts of enhanced CNCCs-originated BMP4 signal on tongue myogenesis via tissue-tissue interaction. Our results revealed that microglossia, a clinical phenotype of congenital bony syngnathia in humans exhibited in Wnt1-Cre;pMes-Bmp4 mice due to impaired myogenesis. The augmented BMP4 signal affected the distal distribution, proliferation, and differentiation of myogenic cells as well as tendon patterning, resulting in disarrangement and atrophy of tongue muscles and the loss of the anterior digastric muscle. This study demonstrated how a CNCCs-originated ligand impaired tongue myogenesis via a non-autonomous way, which provided potential formation mechanisms for understanding tongue abnormalities in CNC-related syndromes.
