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

Network models are a key tool in human neuroscience, and translation into animal models is essential for interrogating mechanistic drivers of network organization. Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), we present the first in vivo network representation of the individual rat brain, a key animal model in neuroscience. We measured magnetization transfer ratio (MTR) at each of 53 distinct cortical areas and estimated a cortical similarity network for each scan across two independent cohorts. We characterized normative network development in rats scanned repeatedly between postnatal days 20 (weanling) and 290 (mid-adulthood;
