Changes in blood glucose as a function of body temperature in laboratory mice: implications for daily torpor.
Article in American journal of physiology. Endocrinology and metabolism, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Many small mammals, such as the laboratory mouse, utilize the hypometabolic state of torpor in response to caloric restriction. The signals that relay the lack of fuel to initiate a bout of torpor are not known. Because the mouse will only enter a torpid state when calorically challenged, it may be that one of the inputs for initiation into a bout of torpor is the lack of the primary fuel (glucose) used to power brain metabolism in the mouse. Using glucose telemetry in mice, we tested the hypotheses that 1) circulating glucose (GLC), core body temperature (T
