Immunocytochemical localization of vimentin in stellate cells (folliculo-stellate cells) of the rat, cat and rabbit pituitary pars distalis.
Article in Anatomy and embryology, 1989. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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 occurrence of vimentin, a specific intermediate filament protein, has been studied by an indirect immunoperoxidase method in the anterior pituitary gland of adult rats, cats and rabbits of both sexes. In the three species studied, the immunoreaction product was detected in the cytoplasm of stellate-shaped cells scattered throughout the pars distalis. These stellate cells showed long cytoplasmic processes which could be seen between the secretory cells, and occasionally, encircling them. These processes sometimes reach the vasculo-connective septa. The marginal cells lining the anterior layer of the hypophyseal cleft of the rat and the cat pituitary glands also showed a positive immunoreaction. Finally, cyst or follicle-like structures lined by immunostained cells with basal processes could be observed in the anterior lobe of the rat, but not in that of the rabbit or the cat. These findings support the previously held view that folliculo-stellate cells and marginal cells of the anterior pituitary gland have a common nature and suggest that these cell types might be derived from glial neuroectodermic cells.
