1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The reaction-diffusion (RD) system is widely assumed to account for many complex, self-organized pigmentation patterns in natural organisms. However, the specific configurations of such RD networks and how RD systems interact with positional information (i.e., prepatterns) that may specify the initiation conditions for the RD operation remain largely unknown. Here, we introduced a three-substance RD system underlying the formation of repetitive pigment spots and stripes in
