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

The open field test is widely used in behavioral neuroscience, providing insights into exploration, anxiety, and the learning processes associated with habituation to novelty. Analyses of exploratory behaviors in open field areas rely heavily on movement changes over time. These activity measures are susceptible to confounds from group differences in locomotor abilities and only provide an indirect measure of learning during exploration. Considerable effort has been placed on identifying additional measures of behavior that can better describe changes in exploration and habituation of novelty. Two measures for enhanced analysis of exploration are coverage and directional persistence (P
