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

A quantitative comparison of the absolute and relative volumes of different brain areas is useful for predicting the sensory capabilities and behavior of large pelagic teleosts, which are difficult to study in the field or in vivo. However, the size of pelagic teleost brain regions has only been approximated using the idealized ellipsoid method, which is susceptible to over- or underestimation, as it assumes the shape of brain regions to be an idealized ellipsoid or half-ellipsoid. This study examines the gross morphology and volumes of different sensory brain areas of southern bluefin tuna Thunnus maccoyii using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The results show that the optic tectum (568 ± 11 mm
