ArticleTemperature (Austin, Tex.)
Neural control of inflammation by the greater splanchnic nerves.
Article in Temperature (Austin, Tex.). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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 brain influences immune function through a powerful neural reflex that suppresses the release of a key pro-inflammatory cytokine, tumor necrosis factor α, after immune challenge. The efferent motor pathway of this reflex is in the splanchnic nerves, not the vagi. This reflex regulates inflammation but does not suppress fever.
