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 nature of the representation guiding spatial navigation has been investigated extensively; however, most of this work has used behavioral tasks that involved learning the location of food reward or an escape platform. In contrast, relatively few studies have focused on the spatial representation of a home base, a ubiquitous feature of open-field behavior, and its ability to be encoded relative to environmental cues. The current set of experiments investigated acquisition and retention of the location of home base establishment. In general, proximal cues anchored the position of the home base during acquisition sessions across all four experiments. Although mice established a home base during retention sessions, previous experience did not influence its position during retention sessions. These observations demonstrate that stimulus control of home base position depends on access to proximal cues. Further work is needed to determine the extent that home base establishment may provide a framework to encode goal-directed spatial behaviors.
