Comparative study on the distribution of Pacinian corpuscles in the pancreas.
Article in Frontiers in neuroanatomy, 2025. 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
Background: Pacinian corpuscles (PCs) are pressure- and vibration-sensitive mechanoreceptors found in hairless skin, external genitalia, joints, ligaments, lymph nodes, prostate, bladder, etc. While they are documented in the pancreas of cats, their presence in the normal pancreas remains speculative. Purpose: The present study therefore investigated the distribution of PCs in the normal human pancreas and compared the findings with those in several other animal species. Methods: The study subjects included 74 human cadaver specimens, 3 Results: PCs were found in the pancreas of five human cadavers (7%), as well as in one Conclusion: This study confirmed the presence of PCs in a small number of healthy humans and some animal pancreata. The number, distribution characteristics, and morphology of PCs in the pancreata of animals and humans are quite different; however, their structures and immunohistochemical profiles are similar. The presence of PCs in the normal human pancreas is also a mystery, and the physiological role of PCs in the human pancreas requires further clarification.
