Evolution and loss of ß-catenin and TCF-dependent axis specification in insects.
Review in Current opinion in insect science, 2022. 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
Mechanisms and evolution of primary axis specification in insects are discussed in the context of the roles of ß-catenin and TCF in polarizing metazoan embryos. Three hypotheses are presented. First, insects with sequential segmentation and posterior growth use cell-autonomous mechanisms for establishing embryo polarity via the nuclear ratio of ß-catenin and TCF. Second, TCF homologs establish competence for anterior specification. Third, the evolution of simultaneous segmentation mechanisms, also known as long-germ development, resulted in primary axis specification mechanisms that are independent of ß-catenin but reliant on TCF, a condition that preceded the frequent replacement of anterior determinants in long germ insects.
