Searching for physical principles of morphogenesis.
Review in Development (Cambridge, England), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
In morphogenesis, biology uses physics to sculpt organs. Understanding this fascinating process requires interdisciplinary collaboration. We highlight recent work in the 'physics of development', with a focus on the interplay between quantitative experiments and mathematical theory. We argue that the role of theory in developmental biology lies in identifying and describing dynamical mechanisms - from the processing of positional information to mechanical pattern formation - independently of their molecular implementation. This level of abstraction provides a structured approach to embrace developmental complexity, but can propose experimental tests to verify its key tenets. We conclude with a sketch of future research perspectives in emerging synthetic morphogenesis systems, which may serve as a platform to distill principles of developmental self-organization.
