Protocol for behavioral tests using chemogenetically manipulated mice.
Article in STAR protocols, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Behavioral analyses using mice chemogenetically manipulated by designer receptors exclusively activated by designer drugs (DREADDs) are powerful tools to elucidate neural functions. Here, we describe the detailed protocols for stereotaxic surgery, adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated introduction to Gq-DREADDs in mice, and for behavioral testing and analyses related to anxiety, risk assessment, and burying behaviors. A series of these tests are useful in evaluating animal anxiety and their defensive response patterns to potential threats. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Horii-Hayashi et al. (2021).
