Organization of the basal forebrain cholinergic system in the human brain.
Review in Handbook of clinical neurology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 mammalian nervous system contains several cholinergic cell groups. The most extensive of these are the cholinergic neurons of the basal forebrain (BFCN). The human BFCN are organized into four cell groups (Ch): Ch1, centered around the medial septum (Ch1-ms), Ch2 in the vertical limb of the diagonal band of Broca (Ch2-dbv), Ch3 around the horizontal limb of the diagonal band of Broca (Ch3-dbh), and Ch4 in the nucleus basalis of Meynert (Ch4-nbM). The Ch4-nbM is the largest of these neuronal groups and is parcellated into sectors based on grouping of cells and anatomic landmarks. Consistent with their cholinergic phenotype, BFCN cell groups are rich in synthetic enzyme choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) and hydrolytic enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE). They also have high content of nerve growth factor receptors and calcium-binding protein calbindin-D
