Genetically engineered ESC-derived embryos reveal Vinculin-dependent force responses required for mammalian neural tube closure.
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
Epithelial sheets build complex structures by converting mechanical forces into changes in cell and tissue organization. During neural tube closure, the neural plate dynamically remodels to produce a closed tube that provides the structural foundation for the developing brain and spinal cord. How cells maintain epithelial integrity despite the forces required for tissue morphogenesis during neural tube closure is not understood. We show that mechanical forces are upregulated during cranial neural tube closure in the mouse embryo and recruit the force-sensitive protein Vinculin to adherens junctions. Leveraging a genetically engineered embryonic stem cell-based pipeline to efficiently generate mutant embryos, we show that
