The origin and distribution of membrane-bound vesicles associated with the brush border of chick intestinal mucosa.
Article in Journal of anatomy, 1980. 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 chick was used to investigate the incidence of vesicles, 60-75 nm in diameter, previously observed (Chandler et al. 1975) associated with the intestinal brush border of various animals. Samples were taken from 3 positions in the small intestine, from the duodenum, 20 nm proximal to the yolk stalk and 100 mm proximal to the ileocaecal junction, and vesicles were found mainly in the duodenum. They were evident in both germ-free and conventionally reared birds and their presence was unaffected by the addition of fibre to the diet. The vesicles arise from the microvillus membrane by budding or pinching off and associated with this is a spiral contraction of the microvillus. A possible mechanism controlling this process, involving the contractile microfilament core of the microvillus, is discussed, together with the likely significance of the production of vesicles.
