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

Donald O. Hebb was born in Chester Nova Scotia on 22 July 1904, attended the Chester school and the Halifax County Academy, and obtained a BA in English and Philosophy from Dalhousie University in 1925. After obtaining a teacher's certificate he taught in his old school in Chester for a year and then in Montreal while attending McGill University to obtain his MA in Psychology as a part-time student. He moved to Chicago to work with Karl Lashley and then completed his PhD with Lashley at Harvard in 1936. He was an instructor for a year at Harvard (1936-37) and then received a Fellowship to work at the Montreal Neurological Institute (1937-39), conducting neuropsychological tests on the patients of Dr. Wilder Penfield. From 1939 to 1942 he was a professor at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario and then a Research Associate of Professor Lashley, studying emotionality in chimpanzees at the Yerkes Primate Center in Florida (1942-1947). It was there that he began to write his influential book,
