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

aimAnimal experiments tend to generate large-scale data. Some existing tools like Microsoft Excel and colony management cloud-based tools are either cumbersome or expensive. There is a need for an inexpensive and uncomplicated colony management software with specific individual database solutions.

methodsWe have developed a database application named RodentSQL to meet most of the requirements of such animal colony management programs.

resultsWe present a user-friendly secure system for managing records of phenotype, genotype and metadata for comprehensive data analysis and mining. RodentSQL can be altered based upon user needs. We have successfully tested its usage in beta users for managing data of hamsters and mice.

conclusionA central facility can share and benefit from this colony management system. RodentSQL can increase workflow efficiency and data security leading to significant cost savings and enhanced scientific results. RodentSQL is offered to the scientific community as an open source software.
