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 lateral entorhinal cortex (LEC) projections to the hippocampus (HC) play a critical role in cognition and have been associated with cognitive impairments related to aging and neurodegenerative disease. This review aims to provide a detailed anatomical description of the LEC-to-HC pathway, based on a review of data collected using neuroanatomical tract tracing techniques. The LEC projects to the HC in a layer-specific manner. Layer II of the LEC provides the primary source of projections to the dentate gyrus (DG), while layer III is the primary source of projections to the subiculum and cornu Ammonis (CA) region. These projections terminate in the molecular layers of the HC and follow a topographical distribution along the dorsolateral-ventromedial axis. Having a clear understanding of the LEC-to-HC pathway is essential background for investigating its functions and alterations due to disease and aging processes.
