Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide-immunoreactive nerves in the pulmonary vasculature of the aquatic file snake Acrochordus granulatus.
Article in Cell and tissue research, 1989. 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 indirect immunofluorescence technique was used to determine the distribution of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide-immunoreactive and somatostatin-immunoreactive axons in the pulmonary vasculature of the aquatic file snake Acrochordus granulatus. A dense distribution of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide-immunoreactive axons was found on the common pulmonary artery, the anterior and posterior pulmonary arteries, and the smaller arteries branching to the lung. The density of these axons appeared greater in arterial preparations taken from more distal regions of the lung. The densest distribution of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide-immunoreactive axons was observed on the larger pulmonary veins in all regions of the lung. These axons were observed on the larger veins within the lung parenchyma but not on the smaller veins. Axons and cell bodies were observed in the vagal nerve trunks which run parallel to the pulmonary arteries and veins. In contrast, no somatostatin-immunoreactive axons were observed in any region of the pulmonary vasculature. It is proposed that the perivascular plexus of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide-immunoreactive axons may represent part or all of the vagal postganglionic innervation of the pulmonary vasculature.
