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

No two situations are identical. They can be similar in some aspects but different in others. This poses a key challenge when attempting to generalize our experience from one situation to another. How do we distinguish the aspects that transfer across situations from those that do not? One hypothesis is that the entorhinal cortex (EC) meets this challenge by forming factorized representations that allow for increased neural similarity between events that share generalizable features. We tested this hypothesis using functional magnetic resonance imaging. Female and male participants (
