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

Stereotaxic surgery is a powerful technique used to deliver drugs, viral vectors, and/or probes into discrete regions of the brain. Over the past decade, the emphasis on performing complex surgeries for neural circuit manipulations or studying multiple brain regions in the same animal has increased. While analog stereotaxic instruments are generally suitable for these types of experiments, the surgeon must accurately read vernier scales for each brain region of interest, which is both time-consuming and prone to user error. Although vendors now offer digital stereotaxic instruments that overcome the limitations of analog instruments, digital units are cost-prohibitive and often come in limited configurations that lack clear paths to customize or upgrade as experimental needs change. To overcome these issues, we've created StereoPylot, an open-source Raspberry Pi-based stereotaxic controller with 3D-printed components. StereoPylot features motorized control of
