Morphological correlates of visual pigment turnover in photoreceptors of the fly, Calliphora erythrocephala.
Article in Cell and tissue research, 1984. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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 content of visual pigment in one eye of Calliphora 'chalky' was measured spectrophotometrically and related to the ultrastructure of the other eye and the density of membrane particles as revealed by the freeze-fracture technique. Electron microscopy of thin-sectioned material showed that the manifestations of synthesis and breakdown of photoreceptor membrane were most prominent in flies kept in blue light, in comparison to flies kept in green light or darkness, in which only a moderate breakdown of membrane was evident. By subjecting flies to different light regimes it was found that the density of membrane particles was related to the content of visual pigment, but not on a one-to-one basis. In particular, the particle density in flies with a low (less than 10%) rhodopsin content, produced by raising flies on a vitamin A-deficient diet or by exposure to green light, was still about 35% of that of normal flies. Taken together the results indicate that all rhodopsin molecules are particles but that some particles represent another protein that most probably serves to maintain the structural integrity of the photoreceptor membrane. Furthermore, membrane synthesis can take place in the absence of rhodopsin synthesis.
