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

Introduction: Once recognized only in humans, variance in the cognitive phenotype is now acknowledged in a range of vertebrate species. However, our understanding of its underlying causes is still incomplete. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is an essential protein for brain functioning and plays a key role in cognitive processes such as learning and memory, including interindividual variation. Environmental factors influence BDNF abundance in the brain, and so do genetic polymorphisms in humans and mice. Methods: Using the Medaka Inbred Kiyosu-Karlsruhe (MIKK) panel of near-isogenic medaka lines, which captures a wide range of natural genetic variation in this species, we investigated the potential quantitative genetic variation in Results: Our findings show significant variation in Discussion: These results suggest that quantitative genetic differences, in concert with environmental influences, contribute to
