Somatosensation a la mode: plasticity and polymodality in sensory neurons.
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 12 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
Our understanding of how peripheral damage-sensing neurons (nociceptors) respond to noxious stimuli is fundamental to the development of effective analgesics. To date, numerous studies have presented diverging hypotheses on how nociceptors encode modality-specific stimuli, including labelled-line, intensity dependence or pattern theory. In this short review, we appraise data from electrophysiological, behavioural, imaging and molecular expression studies from the last 60 years, in order to obtain a coherent view of modality-specific sensing in peripheral sensory neurons. We propose a mechanistic explanation for the broad range of values obtained for the incidence of polymodal nociceptors that reconciles apparently contradictory data.
