The effect of beta-bungarotoxin, or geniculate ganglion lesion on taste bud development in the chick embryo.
Article in Histochemistry and cell biology, 2006. 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
Chick taste bud (gemmal) primordia normally appear on embryonic day (E) 16 and incipient immature, spherical-shaped buds at E17. In ovo injection of beta-bungarotoxin at E12 resulted in a complete absence of taste buds in lower beak and palatal epithelium at developmental ages E17 and E21. However, putative gemmal primordia (solitary clear cells; small, cell groupings) remained, lying adjacent to salivary gland duct openings as seen in normal chick gemmal development. Oral epithelium was immunonegative to neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) suggesting gemmal primordia are nerve-independent. Some NCAM immunoreactivity was evident in autonomic ganglion-like cells and nerve fibers in connective tissue. After unilateral geniculate ganglion/otocyst excision on E2.5, at developmental ages E18 and posthatching day 1, approximately 12% of surviving ipsilateral geniculate ganglion cells sustained approximately 54% of the unoperated gemmal counts. After E18, proportional stages of differentiation in surviving developing buds probably reflect their degree of innervation, as well as rate of differentiation. Irrespective of the degree of geniculate ganglion damage, the proportion of surviving buds can be sustained at the same differentiated bud stage as on the unoperated side, or may differentiate to a later bud stage, consistent with the thesis that bud maturation, maintenance, and survival are nerve-dependent.
