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

Understanding brain evolution requires detailed comparative analyses of brain structures across species. However, high-resolution anatomical and connective data remain limited for most vertebrates beyond a few well-studied model organisms. To address this gap, we collected postmortem brain samples from a range of vertebrates, primarily small amniotes, and performed magnetic resonance imaging and histological staining. Here, we present the "Animal Brain Collection (ABC)," a freely accessible database that enables researchers to examine and compare cellular and tissue-level brain architectures across species. This resource provides a foundation for cross-species investigations of brain structure and development, offering new opportunities for research into the diversity and evolution of vertebrate brains.
