Resonant learning in scale-free networks.
Article in PLoS computational biology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Large networks of interconnected components, such as genes or machines, can coordinate complex behavioral dynamics. One outstanding question has been to identify the design principles that allow such networks to learn new behaviors. Here, we use Boolean networks as prototypes to demonstrate how periodic activation of network hubs provides a network-level advantage in evolutionary learning. Surprisingly, we find that a network can simultaneously learn distinct target functions upon distinct hub oscillations. We term this emergent property resonant learning, as the new selected dynamical behaviors depend on the choice of the period of the hub oscillations. Furthermore, this procedure accelerates the learning of new behaviors by an order of magnitude faster than without oscillations. While it is well-established that modular network architecture can be selected through evolutionary learning to produce different network behaviors, forced hub oscillations emerge as an alternative evolutionary learning strategy for which network modularity is not necessarily required.
