Addressing degeneracy in rodent studies of cognition.
Review in Current opinion in neurobiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 order to relate neural dynamics to cognitive computations, it is critical to determine whether subjects are employing behavioral strategies that actually use those computations, as opposed to simpler heuristics. Here, I describe the problem of adjudicating between degenerate behavioral algorithms and degenerate neural implementations in perceptual and value-based decision-making tasks. Multi-dimensional behavioral measures allow researchers to build arguments from numerous lines of evidence in favor of or against hypotheses about algorithmic strategies. Neural perturbations and individual differences can help resolve degenerate neural implementations. Rigorously contending with these issues is critical for leveraging rodent models to reveal mechanisms of cognition.
