The building blocks of embryo models: embryonic and extraembryonic stem cells.
Review in Cell discovery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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 process of a single-celled zygote developing into a complex multicellular organism is precisely regulated at spatial and temporal levels in vivo. However, understanding the mechanisms underlying development, particularly in humans, has been constrained by technical and ethical limitations associated with studying natural embryos. Harnessing the intrinsic ability of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) to self-organize when induced and assembled, researchers have established several embryo models as alternative approaches to studying early development in vitro. Recent studies have revealed the critical role of extraembryonic cells in early development; and many groups have created more sophisticated and precise ESC-derived embryo models by incorporating extraembryonic stem cell lines, such as trophoblast stem cells (TSCs), extraembryonic mesoderm cells (EXMCs), extraembryonic endoderm cells (XENs, in rodents), and hypoblast stem cells (in primates). Here, we summarize the characteristics of existing mouse and human embryonic and extraembryonic stem cells and review recent advancements in developing mouse and human embryo models.
