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

The ventral pallidum (VP) is an important structure in processing reward. The VP may be the only brain structure where localized lesions in rats replace normal facial "liking" expressions to sweetness with excessive "disgust" reactions, such as gapes and chin rubs, that are normally reserved for unpalatable tastes. The posterior half of the VP (pVP) contains a hedonic hot spot where opioid or related neurochemical stimulations can amplify positive "liking" reactions to sweet taste. This is the same site where lesions or pharmacological inactivations replace positive hedonic reactions to sucrose with intense negative "disgust." In the present study, we aimed to identify brain networks recruited by pVP inactivation to generate excessive "disgust," using neuronal Fos expression as a marker of neurobiological activation. Microinjections in pVP of inhibitory GABA
