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

During early embryonic development, the human neural tube is formed and patterned through spatial regionalization of cell identity, driven by gene regulatory responses to morphogen gradients. However, many of the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we integrate single-cell RNA sequencing data from in vitro emulation of neural tube patterning to develop computational models of rostral-caudal and dorsal-ventral patterning. By embedding these models in a 3D geometry, we reveal how transient morphogen signals induce irreversible patterns consistent with developmental biology and experimental data. Notably, our framework accurately captures the formation and maintenance of the isthmic organizer at the mid-hindbrain boundary, providing a realistic and mechanistic picture of neural tube patterning. This integrated approach bridges in vitro experimentation and computational modeling to uncover fundamental principles of neural development.
