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

We studied separation and integration of cortical areas during cortical neurogenesis using growth simulations that depend upon matching of spatial frequencies between areas-a method equivalent to maximizing zero-lag pulse synchrony and minimizing prediction errors. In a uniform neural field areas would emerge as mirror pairs with intervening Markov blankets, but regional disparities break this mirror symmetry. Differential effects of disparity of information inputs, cell types, and axonal lengths were characterized in the simulations, explaining how asymmetries of information transfer arise and lead to greater or lesser segregation of systems, sequencing of exchanges, and reciprocal control effects. In the developmentally completed form, nonspecific excitation and frequency modulation from limbic and subcortical sources would modulate exchanges and sequencing, introducing non-hierarchical information flows within the hierarchical radial architecture.
