Principles of regeneration revealed by the planarian eye.
Review in Current opinion in cell biology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
One approach to elucidating the principles of regeneration is to investigate mechanisms that regenerate a target organ. Planarian eyes are discrete, visible structures that are dispensable for viability, making them powerful for studying the logic of regeneration. Fate specification in eye regeneration occurs in stem cells (neoblasts), generating eye progenitors. Eye progenitor production is not responsive to the presence or absence of the eye, with regeneration explained by constant progenitor production in the appropriate positional environment. Eye progenitors display coarse spatial specification. A combination of eye-extrinsic cues and self-organization with differentiated eye cells dictate where migratory eye progenitors target. Finally, guidepost-like cells influence regenerating axons to facilitate the restoration of eye circuitry. These findings from the eye as a case study present a model that explains how regeneration can occur.
