Enteric glia: the most alimentary of all glia.
Review in The Journal of physiology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 121 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Glia (from Greek γλοία meaning 'glue') pertains to non-neuronal cells in the central (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS) that nourish neurons and maintain homeostasis. In addition, glia are now increasingly appreciated as active regulators of numerous physiological processes initially considered exclusively under neuronal regulation. For instance, enteric glia, a collection of glial cells residing within the walls of the intestinal tract, regulate intestinal motility, a well-characterized reflex controlled by enteric neurons. Enteric glia also interact with various non-neuronal cell types in the gut wall such as enterocytes, enteroendocrine and immune cells and are therefore emerging as important local regulators of diverse gut functions. The intricate molecular mechanisms that govern glia-mediated regulation are beginning to be discovered, but much remains unknown about the functions of enteric glia in health and disease. Here we present a current view of the enteric glia and their regulatory roles in gastrointestinal (GI) (patho)physiology; from GI motility and epithelial barrier function to enteric neuroinflammation.
