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 crustacean muscle receptor organ (MRO) has provided a particularly accessible preparation for the study of sensory coding, which has been widely used in introductory laboratory courses incorporating extracellular recording from sensory nerves in living preparations. We describe three innovations to the standard laboratory exercise using the MRO: (1) a new form of suction electrode to facilitate extracellular recording; (2) a new, Arduino-driven actuator to allow reproducible and quantifiable mechanical stimulation of the MRO; and (3) a new approach to the crayfish abdomen preparation that allows linear extension of the MRO muscles. These novel approaches allow the collection of data sets comprised of sensory cell spike trains under software control as important mechanical stimulus parameters are varied systematically through software. This additional level of user control facilitates a more robust quantitative approach to the analysis of MRO sensory neuron spike trains, which is facilitated by training in data analysis using python.
