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

Understanding the specific barriers and possible solutions to credible research for early career researchers is key to enabling the next generation of scientists to implement these practices. Here we describe the outcomes of a workshop that tackled these issues, held at the BNA Festival of Neuroscience 2025. Workshop attendees highlighted various challenges to credible research that are highly relevant for early career researchers. In particular, time constraints were highlighted as a universal barrier across multiple credible research practices, and attitudes of more senior researchers/supervisors were perceived as an important challenge. Participants also highlighted solutions to help implement credible research that can be pursued by individual researchers, but, importantly, also emphasised the importance of "structural" solutions, requiring initiative by stakeholders, including academic institutions, journals and funders. We hope the summary of the workshop will foster active debate on the topic within the neuroscience community.
