Immunohistochemical demonstration of lymphatic vessels in adult zebrafish.
Article in Acta histochemica et cytochemica, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Morphological profiles of lymphatic vessels in adult zebrafish trunk and ovary were studied by immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy. The present immunohistochemistry for Prox1 was successful in demonstrating lymphatic vessels in zebrafish. The zebrafish trunk revealed two types of bilateral longitudinal lymphatic trunks draining lymph centripetally along dorsal aorta and posterior cardinal veins. Large honeycomb lymphatic sinus was further shown around common cardinal veins. In the zebrafish ovary, the lymphatic vessels, comprising endothelial cells only, encompassed arterioles in their lumen. This peculiar structure appeared to be conserved in vertebrates including mammals and might serve for control of blood temperature and tissue homeostasis. The present study is first to delineate lymphatic vessels in adult zebrafish by immunohistochemistry. Our immunohistochemical results showed usefulness of immunostaining for Prox1 not only for demonstration of lymphatic vessels in zebrafish, but also for examination of their function and dynamics in pathophysiological condition.
