Bloodhounds chasing the origin of blood cells.
Review in Trends in cell biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The generation of blood cells during embryonic development involves a process resembling lineage reprogramming, where specialized cells within the vasculature become blood forming, or hemogenic. These hemogenic cells undergo rapid transcriptional and morphological changes as they appear to switch from an endothelial to blood identity. What controls this process and the exact nature of the hemogenic cells remains debated, with evidence supporting several hypotheses. In this opinion, we synthesize current knowledge and propose a model reconciling conflicting observations, integrating evolutionary and mechanistic insights into blood cell emergence.
