Role of the gustatory thalamus in taste learning.
Article in Behavioural brain research, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The present study re-examined the involvement of the gustatory thalamus (GT) in the acquisition of drug- and toxin-induced conditioned taste aversions (CTAs) using a standardized procedure involving 15-min taste trials in rats injected with morphine (Experiment 1), lithium chloride (Experiment 2) or amphetamine (Experiment 3). Contrary to previous results, GT lesions did not eliminate drug-induced CTAs. Rather, GT-lesioned rats acquired aversions of comparable magnitude to non-lesioned subjects but from an elevated intake on the first conditioning trial. A similar pattern of lesion effects was found in the acquisition of an illness-induced CTA. Thus, we conclude that GT lesions do not differentially influence CTAs conditioned with drugs or toxins. The lesion-induced elevated intake of a novel tastant confirms an unappreciated role for the GT in taste neophobia.
