Consequences of degeneracy in network function.
Review in Current opinion in neurobiology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
Often distinct elements serve similar functions within a network. However, it is unclear whether this network degeneracy is beneficial, or merely a reflection of tighter regulation of overall network performance relative to individual neuronal properties. We review circumstances where data strongly suggest that degeneracy is beneficial in that it makes network function more robust. Importantly, network degeneracy is likely to have functional consequences that are not widely appreciated. This is likely to be true when network activity is configured by modulators with persistent actions, and the history of network activity potentially impacts subsequent functioning. Data suggest that degeneracy in this context may be important for the creation of latent memories, and for state-dependent task switching.
