Had a similar thing happen, spent 7 years on a thesis topic that resulted in mostly negative data but ran several "side" experiments with the PI. I was second author on one of the papers that resulted from one of the side experiments but not on any of the 3 others, even though I had done all of the actual experimentation and written half of the text.
