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

A method of estimating coupling strength between two neural oscillators based on their spikes trains (Kiemel and Cohen, J. Comput. Neurosci. 5: 267-284, 1998) is tested using simulated data and then applied to experimental data from the central pattern generator (CPG) for swimming in the lamprey. The method is tested using a model of two connectionist oscillators and a model of two endogenously bursting cells. For both models, the method provides useful estimates of the relative strength of coupling in each direction, as well as estimates of total strength. The method is applied to pairs of motor-nerve recordings from isolated 50-segment pieces of spinal cords from adult silver lampreys (Ichthyomyzon unicuspus). The strength and direction of coupling is estimated under control conditions and conditions in which intersegmental coupling between the two recording locations is weakened by hemisections of the spinal cords and/or chambers containing an inhibitory solution that blocks firing in postsynaptic cells. The relevance of these measures in constraining models of the CPG is discussed.
