The FitzHugh-Nagumo equations and quantum noise.
Article in Computational and structural biotechnology journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
It is unclear whether quantum phenomena can be observed in brain recordings because of thermal noise causing decoherence, that is, quantum superpositions and entanglement quickly collapsing into classical, i.e. non-quantum states. This paper first demonstrates that neuronal noise of the Brownian motion type is mathematically equivalent to a wave-particle description of the kind predicted by a fundamental equation in quantum mechanics known as the Schrödinger equation. It then extends the considerations to the more realistic FitzHugh-Nagumo model which has been widely used to describe neuronal dynamics. This approach could provide new insights into the underlying mechanisms of brain function.
