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

Systems consolidation solves the stability-plasticity-dilemma and is a persuasive theory within the neuroscience of memory. The study by Tallman et al. (this issue) adds to the current literature showing that brain activity changes over time follow a power function in some neocortical areas but not in the hippocampus. In our comment, we suggest that a power function may, however, not be the only model that needs to be considered for such an analysis. We also highlight that reasoning by the absence of statistical significance should be replaced by appropriate statistics (e.g., using superiority or equivalence tests).
