Diversity of reticulospinal systems in mammals.
Article in Current opinion in physiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Reticulospinal (RS) neurons provide the spinal cord with the executive signals for a large repertoire of motor and autonomic functions, ensuring at the same time that these functions are adapted to the different behavioral contexts. This requires the coordinated action of many RS neurons. In this mini-review, we examine how the RS neurons that carry out specific functions distribute across the three parts of the brain stem. Extensive overlap between populations suggests a need to explore multi-functionality at the single cell-level. We next contrast functional diversity and homogeneity in transmitter phenotype. Then, we examine the molecular genetic mechanisms that specify brain stem development and likely contribute to RS neurons identities. We advocate that a better knowledge of the developmental lineage of the RS neurons and a better knowledge of RS neuron activity across multiple behaviors will help uncover the fundamental principles behind the diversity of RS systems in mammals.
