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 Python Modular Neural Network Toolbox (PymoNNto) provides a versatile and adaptable Python-based framework to develop and investigate brain-inspired neural networks. In contrast to other commonly used simulators such as Brian2 and NEST, PymoNNto imposes only minimal restrictions for implementation and execution. The basic structure of PymoNNto consists of one network class with several neuron- and synapse-groups. The behaviour of each group can be flexibly defined by exchangeable modules. The implementation of these modules is up to the user and only limited by Python itself. Behaviours can be implemented in Python, Numpy, Tensorflow, and other libraries to perform computations on CPUs and GPUs. PymoNNto comes with convenient high level behaviour modules, allowing differential equation-based implementations similar to Brian2, and an adaptable modular Graphical User Interface for real-time observation and modification of the simulated network and its parameters.
