Periostracum Formation in
Article in Animals : an open access journal from MDPI, 2026. 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
The periostracum is the outermost shell layer and the first produced during shell formation in molluscs. This organic layer isolates the extrapallial space from the external environment and provides a scaffold for subsequent calcification. In cephalopods with an internal shell, some organic shell structures are putatively homologous to the periostracum of other molluscan groups. However, neither their detailed structure nor their mode of formation has been described, leaving the extent of this homology unresolved. To address this issue, we investigated the morphology and formation of the organic layer of the dorsal shield and the gladius in embryos of the cuttlefish
