Ventral Pallidum Cholinergic Neurons Respond to Reward and Signal Reward Value.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 ventral pallidum (VP) is a key basal ganglia structure involved in integrating reward-related signals to guide motivated behavior and feeding. VP neuronal activity is strongly tuned to reward-predictive cues and palatable rewards, tracking changes in value and motivational state. Recent studies have established important and opposing roles for GABAergic and glutamatergic VP neurons in reward- and avoidance-related behaviors. However, much less is known about the role of VP cholinergic neurons (VP-CNs), which comprise only ~10% of VP neurons in mice, but maintain extensive connectivity with reward-related circuitry. Here, using cell type-selective
