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

Flavor plays a critical role in the pleasure of food. Flavor research has mainly focused on human subjects and revealed that many brain regions are involved in flavor perception. However, animal models for elucidating the mechanisms of neural circuits are lacking. Herein, we demonstrate the use of a novel behavioral task in which mice are capable of flavor detection. When the olfactory pathways of the mice were blocked, they could not perform the task. However, behavioral accuracy was not affected when the gustatory pathway was blocked by benzocaine. These results indicate that the mice performed this detection task mainly based on the olfaction. We conclude that this novel task can contribute to research on the neural mechanisms of flavor perception.
