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

The protocol provides an extensive guide to apply the generalized linear model framework to neurophysiological recordings. This flexible technique can be adapted to test and quantify the contributions of many different parameters (e.g., kinematics, target position, choice, reward) on neural activity. To weight the influence of each parameter, we developed an intuitive metric ("w-value") that can be used to build a "functional fingerprint" characteristic for each neuron. We also provide suggestions to extract complementary useful information from the method. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Diomedi et al. (2020).
