The distribution of mast cells in the human area postrema.
Article in Journal of anatomy, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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 topography and phenotype of mast cells in the human area postrema, together with correlation between mast-cell density and microvessel density (MVD), were analysed in 16 brains. Transverse serial sections of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded brainstems were stained with toluidine blue and alcian blue/safranin stainings, and with anti-tryptase and anti-CD31 monoclonal antibodies. The mean (+/- SD) numbers of mast cells per section were 1.3 +/- 0.8 and 1.2 +/- 0.7 with toluidine blue and alcian blue/safranin, respectively, whereas anti-tryptase monoclonal antibody showed a mean of 5.1 +/- 2.4 cells. Mast cells were alcian blue- and safranin-positive in 56%, because of the coexistence of low-sulphated (blue-staining) and high-sulphated (red-staining) granules. No significant linear correlation between mast-cell density (4.9 mm(-2)) and MVD (114.5 mm(-2)) was found (r(2) = 0.19, P = 0.09). Mast cells were frequently located close to blood vessels (55%) (33% to venules, 22% to arterioles), indicating that their products play a role in the regulation of blood flow and in vessel permeability in the area postrema. Mast cells were located subependymally in 44% and close to the dorsal aspect of the nucleus of the tractus solitarius in 31%, suggesting a subregional distribution.
