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

Social interactions during development can have a significant and lasting impact on adult phenotypes and fitness. Indeed, a growing body of evidence suggests the early social environment plays an important role in cognitive development. However, existing studies largely focus on the impact of social group size, which does not necessarily capture all the cognitive demands associated with group living. Social network analysis can provide detailed insight into variation in social interactions between group members, and thus the information-processing challenges associated with group living at the individual level. Here, we explore whether social interactions during development are related to cognitive performance in juvenile Western Australian magpies (
