1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

This paper presents a toolbox of solutions that enable the user to construct biologically-inspired spiking neural networks with tens of thousands of neurons and millions of connections that can be simulated in real time, visualized in 3D and connected to robots and other devices. NeMo is a high performance simulator that works with a variety of neural and oscillator models and performs parallel simulations on either GPUs or multi-core processors. SpikeStream is a visualization and analysis environment that works with NeMo and can construct networks, store them in a database and visualize their activity in 3D. The iSpike library provides biologically-inspired conversion between real data and spike representations to support work with robots, such as the iCub. Each of the tools described in this paper can be used independently with other software, and they also work well together.
