Structure of cone photoreceptors.
Review in Progress in retinal and eye research, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 146 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
Although outnumbered more than 20:1 by rod photoreceptors, cone cells in the human retina mediate daylight vision and are critical for visual acuity and color discrimination. A variety of human diseases are characterized by a progressive loss of cone photoreceptors but the low abundance of cones and the absence of a macula in non-primate mammalian retinas have made it difficult to investigate cones directly. Conventional rodents (laboratory mice and rats) are nocturnal rod-dominated species with few cones in the retina, and studying other animals with cone-rich retinas presents various logistic and technical difficulties. Originating in the early 1900s, past research has begun to provide insights into cone ultrastructure but has yet to afford an overall perspective of cone cell organization. This review summarizes our past progress and focuses on the recent introduction of special mammalian models (transgenic mice and diurnal rats rich in cones) that together with new investigative techniques such as atomic force microscopy and cryo-electron tomography promise to reveal a more unified concept of cone photoreceptor organization and its role in retinal diseases.
