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

Leibovich et al. propose that number sense is not innate but gradually emergent during ontogeny following experience. We argue that this hypothesis cannot be reasonably tested in humans, in which the contribution of neural maturation and experience cannot be experimentally manipulated. Studies on animals, especially fish, can more effectively provide critical insights into the innate nature of numerical abilities.
