A Focal Inactivation and Computational Study of Ventrolateral Periaqueductal Gray and Deep Mesencephalic Reticular Nucleus Involvement in Sleep State Switching and Bistability.
Article in eNeuro. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Neurons of the ventrolateral periaqueductal gray (vlPAG) and adjacent deep mesencephalic reticular nucleus (DpMe) are implicated in the control of sleep-wake state and are hypothesized components of a flip-flop circuit that maintains sleep bistability by preventing the overexpression of non-rapid eye movement (NREM)/REM sleep intermediary states (NRt). To determine the contribution of vlPAG/DpMe neurons in maintaining sleep bistability we combined computer simulations of flip-flop circuitry with focal inactivation of vlPAG/DpMe neurons by microdialysis delivery of the GABA
