Cytochemical localization of acid phosphatase in light- and dark-adapted eyes of a polychaete worm, Nereis limnicola.

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 amount and distribution of the lysosomal enzyme acid phosphatase in light- and dark-adapted eyes of the brackish-water annelid Nereis limnicola were studied by standard cytochemical techniques. Precipitate from the acid phosphatase reaction was observed in Golgi-endoplasmic reticulum-lysosomal complexes, primary lysosomes, and secondary lysosomes, formed by fusion of primary lysosomes with phagocytic and pinocytic vesicles containing products of presumed rhabdomeric degradation. The acid phosphatase reaction occurred in these organelles in both sensory and supportive cells of both light- and dark-adapted ocelli. Secondary lysosomes were more abundant in sensory cells of illuminated ocelli than in those maintained in the dark. Sparse reaction product was found in Golgi cisternae, none in rough endoplasmic reticulum. We suggest that the increase of lysosomal activity in light-adapted eyes is correlated with the breakdown of photosensory microvilli upon exposure to light. A diagram of our interpretation of recycling of photoreceptoral membrane in N. limnicola is presented.
