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

Understanding the human brain and its functions has always been an interesting and challenging problem. Recently, a significant progress on this problem has been achieved on the aspect of chimera state where a coexistence of synchronized and unsynchronized states can be sustained in identical oscillators. This counterintuitive phenomenon is closely related to the unihemispheric sleep in some marine mammals and birds and has recently gotten a hot attention in neural systems, except the previous studies in non-neural systems such as phase oscillators. This review will briefly summarize the main results of chimera state in neuronal systems and pay special attention to the network of cerebral cortex, aiming to accelerate the study of chimera state in brain networks. Some outlooks are also discussed.
