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

The distribution of efferent fibers originating in the lateral septal nucleus was investigated in guinea pigs by means of anterograde tracing with Phaseolus vulgaris-leucoagglutinin (PHA-L). Special emphasis was placed on the intraseptal fiber systems. The fibers originating from the different subnuclei of the lateral septal nucleus formed massive horizontal connections in the rostrocaudal axis. Projections to the contralateral, congruent subnuclei were also detected. In the medial septum/diagonal band of Broca complex the largest number of PHA-L-stained fibers was found after application of the tracer into the dorsal subnucleus of the lateral septal nucleus; the density of the efferent fibers decreased progressively after injection into the intermediate or ventral subnuclei. In all cases the diagonal band contained a much higher number of efferent fibers from the lateral septal nucleus than from the medial septal nucleus. In the medial septal nucleus, terminal labeling was generally sparse. Other telencephalic areas (organum vasculosum of the lamina terminalis, nucleus accumbens, bed nucleus of the stria terminalis, amygdala, hippocampal complex, and other cortical areas) contained varying numbers of labeled projections. In double-labeling experiments, a close spatial relationship between PHA-L-stained fibers and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide-immunoreactive perikarya was observed in several of these target areas.
