Dorsal forerunner cells transmit epiboly forces to extend the zebrafish notochord.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 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
Convergence and extension (C&E) cell movements promote anteroposterior axis extension and narrow both neuroectodermal and mesodermal tissues during gastrulation. Mediolateral cell intercalation is largely responsible for this morphogenetic process in vertebrates, but evidence suggests that additional cell-extrinsic forces generated by surrounding tissues contribute to the shaping of many structures. In zebrafish, for example, mechanical forces generated by the anteriorly migrating prechordal plate cooperate with tissue-autonomous cell intercalations to promote extension of the notochord. Here we propose a novel model for notochord morphogenesis by which mechanical epiboly forces within the enveloping layer are transmitted to the posterior end of the notochord via a cluster of dorsal forerunner cells (DFCs) that physically links the two. We found that scattered or absent DFCs caused by loss of
