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

Quantitative analysis of the neuronal activity marker Fos revealed activity-dependent and lamina-specific changes in adult cat area 17, 14 days to 1 month after the induction of central retinal lesions. The supra- and infragranular layers were clearly differently engaged in the response to the visual deprivation, both inside and outside the lesion projection zone. The center of the LPZ exhibited an activity decrease in the extragranular layers, which was mainly reflected by an intracellular down-regulation of Fos rather than a decline in the number of Fos-immunoreactive nuclei. Interestingly, the infragranular layers displayed more Fos-immunoreactive neurons in experimental animals. This recruitment of an additional population of Fos expressing neurons in the subcortically projecting infragranular layers might have a protective function against neurodegeneration in the direct retinal target structures.
