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
Lamellar corpuscles function as mechanoreceptors in the skin, composed of axon terminals and lamellae constructed by terminal Schwann cells. They are classified into Pacinian, Meissner, and simple corpuscles based on histological criteria. Lamellar corpuscles in rat dermal papilla cells have been reported; however, the morphological aspects have yet to be thoroughly investigated. In the present study, we analyzed the enzyme activity, distribution, fine structure, and three-dimensional innervation of lamellar corpuscles in rat plantar skin. The lamellar corpuscles exhibiting non-specific cholinesterase were densely distributed in rat footpads, evident as notable skin elevations, especially at the apex, the highest portion of the ridges in each footpad. In contrast, only a few lamellar corpuscles were found in other plantar skin areas. Lamellar corpuscle was considered composed of a flat axon terminal Schwann cell lamellae, which were roughly concentrically arranged in the dermal papilla. These histological characteristics correspond to those of the simple corpuscle. Moreover, the axon tracing method revealed that one trunk axon innervated several simple corpuscles. The territory of the trunk axons overlapped with each other. Finally, the animals' footprints were analyzed. During the pausing and walking phases, footpads are often in contact with the floor. These results demonstrate that the type of lamellar corpuscles in the dermal papillae of rat plantar skin is a simple corpuscle and implies that their distribution pattern in the plantar skin is convenient for efficient sensing and transmission of mechanical stimuli from the ground.
