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 study of pattern formation has benefited from our ability to reverse-engineer gene regulatory network (GRN) structure from spatiotemporal quantitative gene expression data. Traditional approaches have focused on systems where the timescales of pattern formation and morphogenesis can be separated. Unfortunately, this is not the case in most animal patterning systems, where pattern formation and morphogenesis are co-occurring and tightly linked. To elucidate patterning mechanisms in such systems we need to adapt our GRN inference methodologies to include cell movements. In this work, we fill this gap by integrating quantitative data from live and fixed embryos to approximate gene expression trajectories (AGETs) in single cells and use these to reverse-engineer GRNs. This framework generates candidate GRNs that recapitulate pattern at the tissue level, gene expression dynamics at the single cell level, recover known genetic interactions and recapitulate experimental perturbations while incorporating cell movements explicitly for the first time.
