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

In biological research, various experiments such as behavioral experiments and physiological ones are often conducted with pharmacologically treated animals. In such experiments, it is necessary to inject the same volume of solution into numerous small animals, such as insects to prepare several experimental subjects. However, repeating manual injections is burdensome, and it is also difficult to maintain injection quality and consistency. We have developed a microinjection system that can support and semiautomate the injections of small animals. The system consists of two cameras, a micromanipulator, a syringe pump, and a structural framework all operated from a personal computer to quickly inject the same volume of liquid solutions at the same position and depth into small animals. The microinjection system has sufficient extensibility for it to be used in a variety of applications.
