Genetically Defined Functional Modules for Spatial Orienting in the Mouse Superior Colliculus.
Article in Current biology : CB, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 52 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
In order to explore and interact with their surroundings, animals need to orient toward specific positions in space. Throughout the animal kingdom, head movements represent a primary form of orienting behavior. The superior colliculus (SC) is a fundamental structure for the generation of orienting responses, but how genetically distinct groups of collicular neurons contribute to these spatially tuned behaviors remains largely to be defined. Here, through the genetic dissection of the murine SC, we identify a functionally and genetically homogeneous subclass of glutamatergic neurons defined by the expression of the paired-like homeodomain transcription factor Pitx2. We show that the optogenetic stimulation of Pitx2
