Neural circuits for sexually dimorphic and sexually divergent behaviors in Caenorhabditis elegans.
Review in Current opinion in neurobiology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Increasing interest in sex differences in Caenorhabditis elegans neurobiology is resulting from several advances, including the completion of the male tail connectome and the surprising discovery of two 'new' neurons in the male head. In this species, sex-specific circuits in the hermaphrodite and male control reproductive behaviors such as egg-laying and copulation, respectively. Studies of these systems are revealing interesting similarities and contrasts, particularly in the mechanisms by which nutritional status influences reproductive behaviors. Other studies have highlighted the importance of sexual modulation of shared neurons and circuits in optimizing behavioral strategies. Together, these findings indicate that C. elegans uses intertwined, distributed sex differences in circuit structure and function to implement sex-specific as well as sexually divergent, shared behaviors.
