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

In 1973, the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Karl von Frisch, Konrad Lorenz, and Nikolaas Tinbergen for their pioneering work in the development of Ethology. This branch of science, which involves the study of animal behaviour, differs from others due to its emphasis on the behaviour of animals in their natural environment. We hypothesized that freshly collected wild Lymnaea stagnalis would be capable of demonstrating a form of conditioned taste aversion and memory in natural pond water, both at the pondside and in the lab. We further hypothesized that the snails would demonstrate similar learning and memory formation in laboratory-made pond water, both at the pondside and in the lab. The associative learning shown occurs between two stimuli, a stressor and a food substance, when they are experienced together over a 45-min period. Here, we demonstrate the similar learning and memory-forming capabilities of wild L. stagnalis, whether trained at the pondside or in the lab.
