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

Physical confinement, or restraint, is a psychological stressor used in rodent studies. A single restraint episode elevates blood corticosterone levels, a hallmark of stress responses. Repeated restraint results in habituation (or desensitization), whereas chronic exposure to unpredictable stressors fails to induce habituation. Here, we provide our protocols and guidelines in using three mouse restraint models, namely prolonged restraint stress, repeated restraint stress, and chronic variable stress, to examine immunological homeostasis/competence, or lack thereof, under stress with or without habituation. For complete information on the generation and use of these protocols, please refer to Rudak et al. (2021).
