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

During development, tissues or organs are organized into distinct cell populations that do not intermix. The precise spatiotemporal arrangement of these populations establishes tissue boundaries and ensures proper morphogenesis. Signaling between membrane-bound Eph receptors and their ephrin ligands underlies the formation of multiple developmental boundaries, including those between germ layers, rhombomeres, and eye fields. Moreover, accumulating evidence indicates that actomyosin contractility serves as an important mechanical driver of Eph/ephrin-cell segregation and boundary formation. However, the mechanism by which Eph/ephrin signaling regulates actomyosin contractility have received relatively limited attention in previous reviews, particularly in the context of boundary sharpening. In this review, we focus on the interplay between Eph/ephrin signaling and actomyosin contractility and discuss how this interaction contributes to cell segregation and boundary formation.
