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 this commentary, we discuss the concept of field homology, particularly as applied to the brain in comparative neuromorphology. We emphasize its roots in the topological properties of the Bauplan notion (organization plan) as well as in the still scarcely understood concept of developmental fields, and we criticize their modernly frequent erred substitution by the search of similarity of characters. We defend the logical causal connection of embryonic homology with adult homology, irrespective of the regulatory aspects of ontogeny.
