Advances and challenges in programming pattern formation using living cells.
Review in Current opinion in chemical biology, 2022. 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
Spatial patterning of cell populations is a ubiquitous phenomenon in nature. Patterns occur at various length and time scales and exhibit immense diversity. In addition to offering a deeper understanding of the emergence of patterns in nature, the ability to program synthetic patterns using living cells has the potential for broad applications. To date, however, progress in engineering pattern formation has been hampered by technical challenges. In this Review, we discuss recent advances in programming pattern formation in terms of biological insights, experimental and computational tool development, and potential applications.
