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 Iowa gambling task is widely employed to assess the evaluation of risk versus reward contingencies, and how the evaluations are implemented to gain advantageous returns. The cognitive processes involved can be compromised in psychiatric conditions, leading to the development of analogous tasks with translational value for use in rodents. The rodent touchscreen apparatus maximises the degree of similarity with the human task, and in this review we provide an outline of the use of rodent touchscreen gambling tasks in preclinical studies of psychiatric conditions. In particular, we describe how the basic task has been adapted to probe the relative contributions of different neurotransmitter systems, and specific aspects of cognition. We then offer a perspective on how the task might be employed most beneficially in future studies.
