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

Recurrent neural networks are frequently studied in terms of their information-processing capabilities. The structural properties of these networks are seldom considered, beyond those emerging from the connectivity tuning necessary for network training. However, real biological networks have non-contingent architectures that have been shaped by evolution over eons, constrained partly by information-processing criteria, but more generally by fitness maximization requirements. Here, we examine the topological properties of existing biological networks, focusing in particular on gene regulatory networks in bacteria. We identify structural features, both local and global, that dictate the ability of recurrent networks to store information on the fly and process complex time-dependent inputs.
