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

Aggression is an evolutionarily conserved behavior that evolved in the framework of defending or obtaining resources. When expressed out of context, unchecked aggression can have destructive consequences. Model systems that allow examination of distinct neuronal networks at the molecular, cellular, and circuit levels are adding immensely to our understanding of the biological basis of this behavior and should be relatable to other species up to and including man. Investigators have made particular use of insect models to both describe this quantifiable and stereotyped behavior and to manipulate genes and neuron function via numerous genetic and pharmacological tools. This review discusses recent advances in techniques that improve our ability to identify, manipulate, visualize, and compare the genes, neurons, and circuits that are required for the output of this complex and clinically relevant social behavior.
