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

A unifying theory of both human consciousness and memory is presented that is based on neuronal microtubules (MTs) being central to both, and different populations of pyramidal cells in neocortex and hippocampus being responsible for consciousness or memory. First, two quantum theories of consciousness are presented-the Orchestrated Objective Reduction (Orch OR) theory of Penrose/Hameroff and the Environmental-Induced Decoherence Theory (EID) theory of Neven. A Hybrid (MT/EID) theory is proposed in the context of "consciousness"-dedicated pyramidal cells in Layer V of the cerebral cortex. This MT/EID theory involves the MT vibrations of the Orch OR Theory, along with the continual superposition qubit (SPQ) formation and SPQ entanglement of the EID Theory to collectively induce SPQ formation/entanglement in Layer V of the cerebral cortex. Orch OR's objective reduction (collapse of the waveform) is not included in this Hybrid theory because the system of SPQs themselves continuously collapses due to EID. For memory, it is proposed that Orch OR forms its basis with three specific modifications: (1) presenting "endogenous" radiofrequency (RF) vibrations generated by neuronal microtubules as forming a microtubule/RF wave "vibrational fabric" involving microtubular crystalline water cores, (2) refining Orch OR for memory by proposing SPQ formation for short-term memory and objective reduction of those qubits primarily in "memory-dedicated" pyramidal cells within cortical Layers II/III for long-term memory storage through "Quantum Darwinism" (SPQ/OR), and (3) integrating SPQ/OR with the ability of "externally" applied RF waves at 1 GHz to beneficially influence human memory through microtubule-enhancing mechanisms. It is proposed that a vibrational fabric consisting of MTs, RF waves, and generated photons provides the Photonic/RF-wave quantum coherence necessary for brain memory processing. Strong evidence for beneficial effects of exogenous RF wave treatment on memory is provided by a new bioengineered technology-Transcranial Radiofrequency Wave Treatment (TRFT; also known as TEMT). This evidence is presented in both pre-clinical and clinical studies involving normal and Alzheimer's Disease (AD) transgenic mice, and AD patients bearing memory loss. In support of MT involvement in memory, TRFT would appear to be an ideal non-pharmacologic technology to beneficially modulate the microtubule/RF wave vibrational fabric-an intraneuronal fabric that may be at the deep core of human memory, and thus the key to Alzheimer's Disease memory rescue.
