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

Simulations have long played an important role in neurobiology education. This paper describes the design-research process that led to development of two popular simulation-based neurobiology modules used in undergraduate biology classes. Action Potentials Explored, and the more in-depth and quantitative Action Potentials Extended, are the third generation of neurobiology teaching simulations the author has helped develop. The paper focuses on how we used the idea of constraining simulations as a way of tuning the modules to different student populations. Other designers of interactive educational materials may also find constraint a useful lens through which to view designs.
