The Brain's Best Kept Secret Is Its Degenerate Structure.
Review in The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers.
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.
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
Degeneracy is defined as multiple sets of solutions that can produce very similar system performance. Degeneracy is seen across phylogenetic scales, in all kinds of organisms. In neuroscience, degeneracy can be seen in the constellation of biophysical properties that produce a neuron's characteristic intrinsic properties and/or the constellation of mechanisms that determine circuit outputs or behavior. Here, we present examples of degeneracy at multiple levels of organization, from single-cell behavior, small circuits, large circuits, and, in cognition, drawing conclusions from work ranging from bacteria to human cognition. Degeneracy allows the individual-to-individual variability within a population that creates potential for evolution.
