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

Studies of the adult mouse brain have benefited from three-dimensional (3D) atlases providing standardised frameworks for data analysis and integration. However, few 3D atlases exist for the developing mouse brain, and none cover more than a few ages. This fails to represent the dynamic nature of development and is insufficient for researchers whose data fall between the ages of existent atlases. Existing atlases also neglect the spatial correspondence between ages, making comparison across ages difficult. We present the Developmental Mouse Brain Atlas (DeMBA), a 4D atlas encompassing every postnatal day from 4 to 56. DeMBA was created by using existing brain templates for six developmental time points and interpolating intermediate ages. DeMBA is incorporated in software for spatial registration and analysis, enabling brain-wide quantification of features of interest. Furthermore, we provide the software package CCF translator, allowing coordinates or image volumes to be transformed between ages for comparison. These resources provide age-specific spatial frameworks incorporated in accessible analytic pipelines for developmental mouse brain data.
