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

Introduction: The goal of this work is to prove the relevance of the experimental model ( Methods: We used dissociated cortical and hippocampal neurons coupled to Micro-Electrode Arrays (MEAs) arranged in different configurations characterized by modularity (i.e., the presence of interconnected sub-networks) and heterogeneity (i.e., the co-existence of neurons coming from brain districts). We delivered increasing concentrations of bicuculline (BIC), a neuromodulator acting on the GABAergic system, and we extracted the IC Results: We found significant lower values of the IC Discussion: Although tested with a specific neuromodulator, this work aims at proving the relevance of
