Leech locomotion: swimming, crawling, and decisions.
Review in Current opinion in neurobiology, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 31 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
Research on the neuronal control of locomotion in leeches spans almost four decades. Recent advances reviewed here include discoveries that: (1) interactions between multiple hormones modulate initiation of swimming; (2) stretch receptors associated with longitudinal muscles interact with the central oscillator circuit via electrical junctions; (3) intersegmental interactions, according to theoretical analyses, must be relatively weak compared to oscillator interactions within ganglia; and (4) multiple interacting neurons control the expression of alternative modes of locomotion. The innovative techniques that facilitated these advances include optical recording of membrane potential changes, simultaneous intracellular injection of high and low molecular weight fluorescent dyes, and detailed modeling via an input-output systems engineering approach.
