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

Remembrance activities can support the Culture of Care (CoC) in Laboratory Animal Science (LAS) not only by promoting a culture of respect, gratitude and thankfulness for animal life but also by helping the emotional processing and healing of lab animal researchers and animal facility staff. Even though remembrance activities are practiced in many parts of the world, we did not come across any reported cases in Sri Lanka before 2022. Therefore, here, we report on the various remembrance activities and practices observed within our local scientific community.
