Epithelial outgrowth through mesenchymal rings drives lung alveologenesis.
Article in JCI insight, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Determining how alveoli are formed and maintained is critical to understanding lung organogenesis and regeneration after injury. To study the cellular dynamics of this critical stage of lung development, we have used scanned oblique-plane illumination microscopy of living lung slices to observe alveologenesis in real time at high resolution over several days. Contrary to the prevailing notion that alveologenesis occurs by airspace subdivision via ingrowing septa, we found that alveoli form by ballooning epithelial outgrowth supported by contracting mesenchymal ring structures. Systematic analysis has produced a computational model of finely timed cellular structural changes that drive normal alveologenesis. With this model, we can now quantify how perturbing known regulatory intercellular signaling pathways and cell migration processes affects alveologenesis. In the future, this paradigm and platform can be leveraged for mechanistic studies and screening for therapies to promote lung regeneration.
