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

The early organogenesis stage is a critical phase of embryogenesis that lays the foundation for organ development, and is characterized by dynamic and spatially organized transcriptional programs. However, limited spatial transcriptomic information has constrained our understanding of early primate organogenesis. Here we present a comprehensive three-dimensional (3D) spatial transcriptomic atlas of cynomolgus monkey embryos at Carnegie stages (CS) 9 and 10, capturing key morphogenetic events including cardiogenesis, gut tube regionalization, neurulation, axial mesendoderm patterning and early somitogenesis. Using high-resolution spatial transcriptomics and 3D reconstruction, we identify spatially defined lineage domains across germ layers and resolve regionally restricted gene expression, transcription factor activity, and signalling landscapes along major embryonic axes, exemplified by the emergence of dorsoventrally patterned spinal cord subpopulations during neurulation. Cross-species comparisons with human and mouse datasets reveal conserved and species-biased transcriptional programs. Together, this atlas provides a foundational reference for studying early primate development.
