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

Previous studies suggest that trace conditioning depends on the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC). To examine the role of ACC in trace fear conditioning further, 48 rats were surgically prepared for infusion with saline or 62.5 or 125 µg/side muscimol to inactivate ACC reversibly prior to conditioning. A noise stimulus was followed by a 1 mA footshock, with or without a 10-second trace interval between these events in a conditioned suppression procedure. The trace-conditioned groups (10 seconds) showed less test suppression than the control-conditioned groups (0 seconds). Counter to prediction, there was no effect of muscimol infusion on suppression to the noise stimulus in the 10-second trace groups.
