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 present study investigated the subnuclear organization of collateralized efferent projection patterns from the mouse parabrachial nucleus (PbN), the second taste relay in rodents, to higher gustatory centers, including the ventroposteromedial nucleus of the thalamus (VPMpc), central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) and lateral hypothalamus (LH). We made injections of the retrograde tracer red and green latex microspheres into the VMPpc and CeA (VPMpc-CeA group), VMPpc and LH (VPMpc-LH group) or CeA and LH (CeA-LH group, n=6 for each group). Injections into these areas preferentially resulted in retrograde labeling in the ipsilateral PbN in all groups. Cells projecting to the VPMpc, CeA, and LH were generally found in all subnuclei, but were differentially distributed. VPMpc-projecting cells predominated in gustatory-related subnuclei, CeA-projecting neurons predominated in the external lateral (el) subnucleus, and concentrated labeling was observed in the dorsal lateral subnucleus (dl) following LH injection. Double-labeled neurons were found for all groups, almost entirely ipsilaterally and primarily in the medial (m), waist area (wa), ventral lateral (vl) and el subnuclei. These results suggest that PbN neurons in different subdivisions have different projection and collateralization patterns to the VPMpc, CeA and LH. Functional implications of these projections are discussed with an emphasis on their roles in taste.
