1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Tree frogs are an interesting and diverse group of frogs. They display a number of unique adaptations to life in the arboreal environment. Vision plays a crucial role in their ecology. The topography of retinal ganglion cells (GCs) is closely related to a species' visual behavior. Despite a large amount of research addressing GC topography in vertebrates, there is scarce data on this subject in tree frogs. I studied the topography of GCs in the retina of the Japanese tree frog Hyla japonica. The GC density distribution was locally fairly homogeneous, with spatial density increasing gradually from the dorsal and ventral periphery towards the equator. A moderately pronounced visual streak was found close to the equator in the dorsal hemiretina, with a distinct area retinae temporalis in the dorsotemporal quadrant potentially subserving binocular vision. The minimum GC density (mean ± SEM, n = 5) was 3060 ± 60 and the maximum 12 800 ± 170 cells/mm
