Demonstration of a reciprocal connection between the periaqueductal gray matter and the reticular nucleus of the thalamus.
Article in Anatomy and embryology, 1990. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Lectin-conjugated horseradish peroxidase was either injected or implanted in crystalline form in various parts of the periaqueductal gray substance in the cat. After survival times ranging between 24 and 48 h the animals were fixed, and the mesencephalon and thalamus were sectioned and processed for peroxidase histochemistry, using tetramethylbenzidine as the chromogen. Light microscopic examination of the sections revealed that there exists a prominent reciprocal connection between the ventral and lateral parts of the periaqueductal gray matter on one hand, and the reticular nucleus of the thalamus on the other. The connections are mainly ipsilateral, and involve the entire rostrocaudal extent of the thalamic reticular nucleus, but mainly the ventrolateral sector of its caudal two thirds. There is a differential labelling within the thalamic reticular nucleus.
