Sensory modality-specific homeostatic plasticity in the developing optic tectum.
Article in Nature neuroscience, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 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
We found a previously unknown form of homeostatic synaptic plasticity in multisensory neurons in the optic tectum of Xenopus laevis tadpoles. Individual tectal neurons are known to receive converging inputs from multiple sensory modalities. We observed that long-term alterations in either visual or mechanosensory activity in vivo resulted in homeostatic changes specific to each sensory modality. In contrast with typical forms of homeostatic synaptic plasticity, such as synaptic scaling, we found that this type of plasticity occurred in a pathway-specific manner that is more reminiscent of hebbian-type plasticity.
