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 dynamic geometry of neuronal development is an essential concept in theoretical neuroscience. We aimed to design a mathematical model which outlines stepwise in an innovative form and designed to model neuronal development geometrically and modelling spatially the neuronal-electrical field interaction. We demonstrated flexibility in forming the cell and its nucleus to show neuronal growth from inside to outside that uses a fractal cylinder to generate neurons (pyramidal/sphere) in form of mathematically called 'surface of revolution'. Furthermore, we verified the effect of the adjacent neurons on a free branch from one-side, by modelling a 'normal vector surface' that represented a group of neurons. Our model also indicated how the geometrical shapes and clustering of the neurons can be transformed mathematically in the form of vector field that is equivalent to the neuronal electromagnetic activity/electric flux. We further simulated neuronal-electrical field interaction that was implemented spatially using Van der Pol oscillator and taking Laplacian vector field as it reflects biophysical mechanism of neuronal activity and geometrical change. In brief, our study would be considered a proper platform and inspiring modelling for next more complicated geometrical and electrical constructions.
