Whole-brain mapping of afferents to the anterior cingulate cortex in adult mice.
Article in Molecular pain. 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
The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is critical for pain perception, emotion and cognition. Previous studies showed that the ACC has a complex network architecture, which can receive some projection fibers from many brain regions, including the thalamus, the cerebral cortex and other brain regions. However, there was still a lack of whole-brain mapping of the ACC in adult mice. In the present study, we utilized a rabies virus-based retrograde trans-monosynaptic tracing system to map whole-brain afferents to the unilateral ACC in adult mice. We also combined with a new high-throughput, high-speed and high-resolution VISoR imaging technique to generate a three-dimensional whole-brain reconstruction. Our results showed that several principal groups of brain structures send direct monosynaptic inputs to the ACC, including the cerebral cortex, amygdala, striatum, the thalamus, and the brainstem. We also found that cortical neurons in the ACC mainly receive ipsilateral monosynaptic projections. Some cortical areas and forebrain regions also bilaterally projected to the ACC. These findings provide a complete analysis of the afferents to the ACC in adult mice, and whole-brain mapping of ACC afferents would provide important anatomic evidence for the study of pain, memory, and cognition.
