Evolution, development, and organization of the cortical connectome.
Article in PLoS biology, 2019. 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
Hypotheses and theoretical frameworks are needed to organize and interpret the wealth of data on the organization of cortical networks in humans and animals in the light of development, evolution, and selective vulnerability to pathology. Goulas and colleagues compared several hypotheses of cortical network organization in 4 mammalian species and conclude that (1) the laminar pattern of cortico-cortical connections is better predicted by the Structural Model, which relates cytoarchitectonic differences of cortical areas to their interconnectedness, and (2) the existence of cortico-cortical connections is related to cytoarchitectonic differences and the physical distance between cortical areas. The predictions of the Structural Model can be applied to the human cortex, in which invasive studies are precluded. Goulas and colleagues advance interesting questions regarding the emergence of cortical structure and networks in development and evolution. Validated theories of cortical structure, development, and function can guide studies of cortical networks likely affected in neurodevelopmental disorders.
