Effects of light and dark on photoreceptors in the polychaete annelid Nereis limnicola.
Article in Cell and tissue research, 1985. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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 effects of light and dark on photoreceptors of the brackish-water polychaete annelid Nereis limnicola were studied by electron microscopy. Animals dark-adapted for one or two days exhibited well-formed straight microvilli (rhabdomeres) on the sensory cell processes. Continuous illumination of worms for one or two days caused extensive breakdown of the microvilli into vesicles and debris. Thirty minutes to three h of exposure of dark-adapted animals to light produced increasing severity of degradation of photoreceptoral microvilli. Light-adapted worms placed in darkness for one-half to three h showed progressive restoration of the microvilli to the dark-adapted condition. The products of degradation were internalized by both sensory and pigmented supportive cells by phagocytosis and pinocytosis.
