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 laminar distribution and postnatal development of profiles immunoreactive to antibodies directed against serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) have been investigated in the primary visual cortex (striate cortex, area 17) of cats. In the adult cat, profiles with serotonin-like immunoreactivity consist exclusively of fibers which exhibit laminar differences in density and predominant orientation. Immunoreactive fibers are dense in layers I-III, less dense in layer V, and sparse in layers IV and VI. In layers I and VI the trajectories of these fibers are mainly tangential to the pial surface; in layers II-V they are predominantly radial and more irregular. The vast majority of immunoreactive fibers consists of fine axons with frequent small varicosities. In addition, there are a few thick axons. In 2-week-old cats, immunoreactive fibers are sparsely distributed through layers II-V. By 4 weeks, fiber density has decreased still further in layer IV and increased in layers I-III. By 6 weeks, the laminar pattern resembles that of adult cats except that fiber density is still lower than in adults. At three months of age, the mature pattern is established.
