Activity of muscle sympathetic neurons during normotensive pregnancy.
Article in American journal of physiology. Regulatory, integrative and comparative physiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
In pathological populations, elevated sympathetic activity is associated with increased activity of individual sympathetic neurons. We used custom action potential detection software to analyze multiunit sympathetic activity in 18 normotensive pregnant women (third trimester; 33 ± 5 wk) and 19 nonpregnant women at rest and a subset (10 and 13, respectively) during a cold pressor challenge. Although the number of action potentials per burst and number of active amplitude-based "clusters" were not different between groups, the total number of sympathetic action potentials per minute was higher in pregnant women at rest. Individual clusters were active predominately once per burst, suggesting they represent single neurons. Action potentials occurred in closer succession in normotensive pregnant (interspike interval 36 ± 10 ms) versus nonpregnant women (50 ± 27 ms; P < 0.001) at rest. Pregnant women had a lower total peripheral resistance (11.7 ± 3.0 mmHg·l
