New insights into retinal circuits through EM connectomics: what we have learnt and what remains to be learned.
Review in Frontiers in ophthalmology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The retinal neural circuit is intricately wired for efficient processing of visual signals. This is well-supported by the specialized connections between retinal neurons at both the functional and ultrastructural levels. Through 3D electron microscopic (EM) reconstructions of retinal neurons and circuits we have learnt much about the specificities of connections within the retinal layers including new insights into how retinal neurons establish connections and perform sophisticated visual computations. This mini-review will summarize the retinal circuitry and provide details about the novel insights EM connectomics has brought into our understanding of the retinal circuitry. We will also discuss unresolved questions about the retinal circuitry that can be addressed by EM connectomics in the future.
