Ultrastructural identification of telocytes in the muscularis of chicken ileum.
Article in Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Telocytes (TCs) are a specialized type of interstitial cells, characterized by a small cell body and long, thin processes, that have recently been identified in various cavitary and non-cavitary organs of humans and laboratory mammals. Chickens present significant economical and scientific notability; however, ultrastructural identification of TCs remains unclear in birds. The aim of the present study was to describe electron microscopic evidence for the presence of TCs in the chicken gut. The ileum of healthy adult broiler chickens (n=10) was studied by transmission electron microscopy. TCs are characterized by several, long (tens to hundreds of µm) prolongations called telopodes (Tps). Tps, which are below the resolving power of light microscopy, display podomeres (thin segments of ≤0.2 µm) and podoms (dilations accommodating caveolae, mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum). TCs were observed in every field, but were predominantly located in the myenteric plexus and the lamina propria. Tps frequently establish close spatial relationships with immune cells, blood vessels and nerve endings. On the basis of their distribution and morphology, it was hypothesized that the different locations of TCs may be associated with different roles.
