Overlapping Representation of Primary Tastes in a Defined Region of the Gustatory Cortex.
Article in The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 54 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
Both physiological and imaging approaches have led to often-disparate conclusions about the organization of taste information in gustatory cortex (GC). In this study, we used neuroanatomical and imaging approaches to delineate the likely area of insular cortex given to gustatory function and to characterize taste responses within this delineated area in female and male C57BL/6J mice. Anterograde tracers were injected into the taste thalamus (the medial parvicellular portion of the ventral posterior medial division, VPMpc) of mice and the thalamic terminal field was investigated across the cortex. Working within the delineated area, we used two-photon imaging to measure basic taste responses in >780 neurons in layer 2/3 located just posterior to the middle cerebral artery. A nonbiased, hierarchical cluster analysis revealed multiple clusters of cells responding best to either individual or combinations of taste stimuli. Taste quality was represented in the activity of taste-responsive cells; however, there was no apparent spatial organization of primary taste qualities in this region.
