The pyrogenic mediator prostaglandin E
Article in The Journal of physiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Seeking warmth during infection is a sickness behaviour that contributes to the development of fever and is often accompanied by chills. However, the central mechanism underlying this behaviour remains unknown. We recently reported two ascending thermosensory neuronal pathways from the lateral parabrachial nucleus (LPB) of the pons that drive thermoregulatory behaviours in hot and cold environments: one pathway to the preoptic area (POA), a thermoregulatory centre, mediates heat avoidance, whereas the other to the central amygdaloid nucleus (CeA), a limbic emotion centre, mediates cold avoidance. Here we investigated the role of prostaglandin E
