Time, space, memory and brain-body rhythms.
Review in Nature reviews. Neuroscience, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Time and space are crucial concepts in neuroscience, because our personal memories are tied to specific events that occur 'in' a particular space and on a 'timeline'. Thus, we seek to understand how the brain constructs time and space and how these are related to episodic memory. Place cells and time cells have been identified in the brain and have been proposed to 'represent' space and time via single-neuron or population coding, thus acting as hypothetical coordinates within a Newtonian framework of space and time. However, there is a fundamental tension between the linear and unidirectional flow of physical time and the variable nature of experienced time. Moreover, modern physics no longer views space as a fixed container and time as something in which events occur. Here, I articulate an alternative view: that time (physical and experienced) is an abstracted relational measure of change. Physical time is measured using arbitrary units and artificial clocks, whereas experienced time is linked to a hierarchy of brain-body rhythms that provide a range of reference scales that reflect the full span of experienced time. Changes in body and brain circuits, tied to these rhythms, may be the source of our subjective feeling of time.
