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

Flies rely heavily on visual motion cues for course control. This is mediated by a small set of motion-sensitive neurons called lobula plate tangential cells. A single class of these, the centrifugal horizontal (CH) neurons, play an important role in two pathways: figure-ground discrimination and flow-field selectivity. As was recently found, the dendrites of CH cells are electrically coupled with the dendritic tree of another class of neurons sensitive to horizontal image motion, the horizontal system (HS) cells. However, whether motion information arrives independently at both of these cells or is passed from one to the other is not known. Here, we examine the ipsilateral input circuitry to HS and CH neurons by selective laser ablation of individual interneurons. We find that the response of CH neurons to motion presented in front of the ipsilateral eye is entirely abolished after ablation of HS cells. In contrast, the motion response of HS cells persists after the ablation of CH cells. We conclude that HS cells receive direct motion input from local motion elements, whereas CH cells do not; their motion response is driven by HS cells. This connection scheme is discussed with reference to how the dendritic networks involved in figure-ground detection and flow-field selectivity might operate.
