Epigenetic blind spots - the role of DNA methylation dynamics in stem cell-based models of embryogenesis.
Article in FEBS letters, 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
Embryo-like structures, or stembryos, complement embryo research in innovative ways and provide an alternative when embryo utilization is ethically or technically limited. These models, however, are hindered by experimental variability and limited developmental potential, whose causes are still not fully understood. Establishment of appropriate DNA methylation patterns is crucial for mammalian development but characterization of DNA methylation in stembryo models has been largely overlooked. This Perspective manuscript highlights this knowledge gap and suggests that characterization of DNA methylation, and in the future also of other epigenetic modifications, should become standard practice in stembryo model characterization. Available datasets indicate that differences in DNA methyltransferase expression between stembryos and embryos exist, thus suggesting an avenue of investigation to further improve these models.
