Nature and localization of avian lens glycogen by electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy.
Article in Biophysical journal, 1992. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Electron microscopy confirms the presence of a high concentration of glycogen particles in the lens nuclear region of birds of flying habit such as the ring-neck dove and pigeon. This observation is consistent with Raman spectroscopy. The glycogen particles in the dove lens, which are approximately 35 nm in diameter, are classified as beta type particles. Although this type has been previously characterized by high rates of glycogen turnover in other tissues, its localization in the lens nucleus indicates that it may serve a structural function rather than as a storage depot of carbohydrate in the lens. In a comparative electron microscopy study, glycogen particles were not observed in the chicken lens.
