Regionalization in the eye of the grapsid crab Neohelice granulata (=Chasmagnathus granulatus): variation of resolution and facet diameters.
Article in Journal of comparative physiology. A, Neuroethology, sensory, neural, and behavioral physiology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Crabs have panoramic compound eyes, which can show marked regional specializations of visual acuity. These specializations are thought to be related to the particular features of the animal's ecological environment. Modern knowledge on the neuroanatomy and neurophysiology of the crabs' visual system mainly derives from studies performed in the grapsid crab Neohelice granulata (=Chasmagnathus granulatus). However, the organization of the visual sampling elements across the eye surface of this animal had not yet been addressed. We analyzed the sampling resolution across the eye of Neohelice by measuring the pseudopupil displacement with a goniometer. In addition, we measured the facet sizes in the different regions of the eye. We found that Neohelice possesses an acute band of high vertical resolution around the eye equator and an increase in horizontal sampling resolution and lenses diameter towards the lateral side of the eye. Therefore, the analysis of the optical apparatus indicates that this crab possesses greater visual acuity around the equator and at the lateral side of the eye. These specializations are compared with those found in different species of crabs and are discussed in connection to the particular ecological features of Neohelice's habitat.
