Rhabdom breakdown in the eye of Cirolana borealis (Crustacea) caused by exposure to daylight.
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 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
The effect of daylight on the compound eye was investigated in the deep-water crustacean isopod Cirolana borealis Lilljeborg. The animals were captured and fixed at night ('dark-exposed', i.e. not exposed to light) and day ('daylight-exposed'), respectively. Changes in light and darkness have an effect on the retinula cells; the ultrastructure of dark-exposed eyes is characterized by well-preserved organelles and cytoplasm. The photoreceptor membranes covering the microvilli are regularly aligned, and the outline of the villi is smooth. Electron-dense pigment granules are evenly distributed in the cytoplasm of the retinula cell outside the rhabdom. Daylight-exposed eyes differ from the dark-exposed eyes in the following aspects: (i) the microvilli are disrupted, (ii) retinula-cell pigment is found in the rhabdom, and (iii) the cytoplasm of retinula cells is vesiculated. These results are interpreted as retinal damage caused by excess exposure to light.
