The organization of serotonin fibers in the mammalian superior colliculus. An immunohistochemical study.
Article in Anatomy and embryology, 1985. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 distribution of serotonin immunoreactivity in the superior colliculus (SC) of the rat, hamster, chipmunk, cat, and monkey was studied using a sensitive immunohistochemical method. In all of these animals, serotonin immunoreactivity formed a dense network of varicose fibers throughout the SC. These fibers had a characteristic arrangement corresponding to the laminar structures of the SC. Except in the chipmunk, serotonergic fibers were more dense in the stratum griseum superficiale than in the other layers. In the SC of the chipmunk, these fibers appeared evenly distributed. To explore the degree of serotonergic innervation in each layer, a semi-quantitative assay of serotonin immunoreactive varicosities was conducted in the rat, chipmunk, cat, and monkey. Peaks in varicose density were seen in the stratum griseum superficiale, the stratum griseum intermedium and the stratum griseum profundum. In the rat, cat, and monkey, the highest density of these varicosities was in the stratum griseum superficiale. On the other hand, the stratum griseum intermedium of the chipmunk SC received the greatest innervation of serotonergic varicose fibers.
