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
The information transmission of the tactile system is closely related to neuron network dynamics and energy metabolism. However, the correlation mechanism between neuron encoding and energy consumption for fingertip under compression remains unclear. In this study, a star-like neuron network is constructed using the Wang-Zhang model as the node, and it is combined with a contact mechanics model to simulate the phenomenon when a sphere being compressed into the fingertip. The remote synchronization characteristics is explored via average maximum correlation coefficient and Kuramoto order parameter, and energy encoding rules of the network are discussed. The results show that the star-like network can achieve remote synchronization between central and peripheral neurons. The energy consumption of central neurons is much higher than that of peripheral neurons due to signal integration and direct compression. The neuron energy consumption exhibits a spatial distribution of "high in the center and low in the periphery". It is found that there is an optimal value for the number of network layers, at which energy consumption and information processing efficiency reach a balance. This study reveals the neurometabolic mechanism of tactile perception and provides a new theoretical reference for the study of tactile neuronal encoding.
