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
Global visual motion elicits an optomotor response of the eye that stabilizes the visual input on the retina. Here, we analyzed the neck motor system of the blowfly to understand binocular integration of visual motion information underlying a head optomotor response. We identified and characterized two cervical nerve motor neurons (called CNMN6 and CNMN7) tuned precisely to an optic flow corresponding to pitch movements of the head. By means of double recordings and dye coupling, we determined that these neurons are connected ipsilaterally to two vertical system cells (VS2 and VS3), and contralaterally to one horizontal system cell (HSS). In addition, CNMN7 turned out to be connected to the ipsilateral CNMN6 and to its contralateral counterpart. To analyze a potential function of this circuit, we performed behavioral experiments and found that the optomotor pitch response of the fly head was only observable when both eyes were intact. Thus, this neural circuit performs two visuomotor transformations: first, by integrating binocular visual information it enhances the tuning to the optic flow resulting from pitch movements of the head, and second it could assure an even head declination by coordinating the activity of the CNMN7 neurons on both sides.
