The Brain as a Black Body in a Black Box.
Article in The Malaysian journal of medical sciences : MJMS, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The cranium houses the brain, and layers formed by the scalp, cranial bones, and meninges protect it from external energy, including light. Therefore, the brain can be viewed as a black body in a black box. The layers also protect the brain from external atmospheric or gravity force, and together with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), it creates a microgravity or buoyant brain compartment. The brain curving (microgravity posture) mainly occurs at the mesencephalic-diencephalic junction and is thought to be because of the microgravity environment, thus, creating a nearly spherical-like brain geometry. The roughly spherical brain geometry, a black body with its heat irradiation, the presence of charged fluid in the brain extracellular space, and brain requirements to optimally cleanse waste products and be protective against micro-organisms may suggest a possible presence of plasma-like brain energy. This energy has the capability to emit infrared, and its amount is determined by black-body radiation and thermodynamics principles.
