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 IntelliCage is a home-cage-based radiofrequency identification (RFID) test system for studying learning behavior of group-housed mice. Specifically, the mice must learn where and how to get water within the IntelliCage. The protocol describes how to set up the IntelliCage, how to set up and start a learning experiment, what to consider before starting an experiment, and how to clean the system. © 2026 The Author(s).
