Disrupted endosomal trafficking of the Vangl-Celsr polarity complex underlies congenital anomalies in Xenopus trachea-esophageal morphogenesis.
Article in Developmental cell, 2025. 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
Disruptions in foregut morphogenesis can result in life-threatening conditions where the trachea and esophagus fail to separate, such as esophageal atresia (EA) and tracheoesophageal fistulas (TEFs). The developmental basis of these congenital anomalies is poorly understood, but recent genome sequencing reveals that de novo variants in intracellular trafficking genes are enriched in EA/TEF patients. Here, we confirm that mutation of orthologous genes in Xenopus disrupts trachea-esophageal separation similar to EA/TEF patients. The Rab11a recycling endosome pathway is required to localize Vangl-Celsr polarity complexes at the luminal cell surface where opposite sides of the foregut tube fuse. Partial loss of endosomal trafficking or Vangl-Celsr complexes disrupts epithelial polarity and cell division orientation. Mutant cells accumulate at the fusion point, fail to relocalize cadherin, and do not separate into distinct trachea and esophagus. These data provide insights into the mechanisms of congenital anomalies and general paradigms of tissue fusion during organogenesis.
