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

Gastrulation is an essential process in the early embryonic development of all higher animals. During gastrulation, the three embryonic germ layers, the ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm, form and move to their correct positions in the developing embryo. This process requires the integration of cell division, differentiation and movement of thousands of cells. These cell behaviours are coordinated through shortand long-range signalling and must involve feedback to execute gastrulation in a reproducible and robust manner. Mechanosensitive signalling pathways and processes are being uncovered, revealing that shortand long-range mechanical stresses integrate cell behaviours at the tissue and organism scale. Because the interactions between cell behaviours, signalling and feedback are complex, combining experimental and modelling approaches is necessary to elucidate the regulatory mechanisms that drive development. We highlight how recent experimental and theoretical studies provided key insights into mechanical feedback that coordinates relevant cell behaviours at the organism scale during gastrulation. We outline advances in modelling the mechanochemical processes controlling primitive streak formation in the early avian embryo and discuss future developments.
