The effects of a time-based intervention on experienced middle-aged rats.
Article in Behavioural processes, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Impulsive behavior is a common symptom in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, schizophrenia, drug abuse, smoking, obesity and compulsive gambling. Stable levels of impulsive choice have been found in humans and rats and a recent study reported significant test-retest reliability of impulsive choice behavior after 1 and 5 months in rats. Time-based behavioral interventions have been successful in decreasing impulsive choices. These interventions led to improvements in the ability to time and respond more appropriately to adventitious choices. The current study examined the use of a time-based intervention in experienced, middle-aged rats. This intervention utilized a variable interval schedule previously found to be successful in improving timing and decreasing impulsive choice. This study found that the intervention led to a decrease in impulsive choices and there was a significant correlation between the improvement in self-control and post-intervention temporal precision in middle-aged rats. Although there were no overall group differences in bisection performance, individual differences were observed, suggesting an improvement in timing. This is an important contribution to the field because previous studies have utilized only young rats and because previous research indicates a decrease in general timing abilities with age.
