Constructing an Inexpensive Elevated Plus Maze.
Article in Journal of undergraduate neuroscience education : JUNE : a publication of FUN, Faculty for Undergraduate Neuroscience, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introducing students to the challenges and rewards of legitimate experimentation has become an essential part of many undergraduate lab courses. However, this objective can be difficult to achieve if the students find the topic uninteresting and therefore do not take ownership of the project. Additionally, the budgets of most undergraduate courses do not allow for the purchase of new equipment for student-generated projects. Here we describe a lab project where students engaged in the process of designing and building their own inexpensive apparatus. Driven by their interest in anxiety research, students in a Neuroscience Methods course developed the following protocol to build an elevated plus maze (EPM) and optional data acquisition module, for less than $100 each. The project engaged students in work that required applied critical thinking and real-world problem solving, and produced a functional EPM that was used in multiple projects beyond this course.
