Quantifying convergent extension: Shih and Keller's quintessential work in developmental cell biology.
Article in Developmental biology, 2025. 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
Few biological fields have become more intertwined in recent years than cell and developmental biology, a fact made clear by the departments of cell and developmental biology across the United States. And few papers better demonstrate the marriage of these fields than a pair of back-to-back papers in Development by John Shih and Ray Keller in 1992. The first describes the subcellular dynamics and cell movements that occur during amphibian axis elongation. The second takes a zoomed-out view, explaining how these cell movements are patterned across space and time to shape the early embryo. This triumph of description not only highlights the blurred line between cell and developmental biology but has been foundational for the field of animal morphogenesis.
