Enteric co-innervation of striated muscle in the esophagus: still enigmatic?
Review in Histochemistry and cell biology, 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
The existence of a distinct ganglionated myenteric plexus between the two layers of the striated tunica muscularis of the mammalian esophagus has represented an enigma for quite a while. Although an enteric co-innervation of vagally innervated motor endplates in the esophagus has been suggested repeatedly, it was not possible until recently to demonstrate this dual innervation. Twenty-two years ago, we were able to demonstrate that motor endplates in the rat esophagus receive dual innervation from both vagal nerve fibers originating in the brain stem and from varicose enteric nerve fibers originating in the myenteric plexus. Meanwhile, a considerable amount of data has been gathered on enteric co-innervation and its occurrence in the esophagus of a variety of species including humans, its neurochemistry, spatial relationships on motor endplates, ontogeny and possible functional roles. These data underline the significance of this newly discovered innervation component, although its function in vivo is still largely unknown. The aim of this review, which is an update of our previous paper (Wörl and Neuhuber in Histochem Cell Biol 123(2):117-130. doi: 10.1007/s00418-005-0764-7 , 2005a), is to summarize the current knowledge about enteric co-innervation of esophageal striated muscle and to provide some hints as to its functional significance.
