Rhabdom size and photoreceptor membrane turnover in a muscoid fly.
Article in Cell and tissue research, 1982. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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 cross-sectional area of rhabdomeres in the compound eye of the blowfly, Lucilia, was found to remain constant under 12 h light/12 h dark cyclic lighting, and 10 days constant light or darkness. It was reduced only slightly during 3 h light after 10 days darkness (by 21%), or on exposure to 2 h darkness + 1.5 h light after 10 days light (by 10%). Morphological evidence indicates that shedding of photoreceptor membrane during turnover is achieved by an extracellular route, and by pinocytosis from the bases of the microvilli. The photoreceptor membrane shed by both mechanisms appears to accumulate in multivesicular bodies. The amount of photoreceptor membrane shedding, as indicated by numbers of multivesicular bodies, is constant throughout the day and night on cyclic lighting, decreases in constant darkness, but returns to its normal level after an exposure to 3 h light subsequent to 10 days darkness.
