Three channels of corticothalamic communication during locomotion.
Article in The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 49 papers.
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
We studied the flow of corticothalamic (CT) information from the motor cortex of the cat during two types of locomotion: visually guided (cortex dependent) and unguided. Spike trains of CT neurons in layers V (CT5s) and VI (CT6s) were examined. All CT5s had fast-conducting axons (<2 ms conduction time), and nearly all showed step-phase-related activity (94%), sensory receptive fields (100%), and spontaneous activity (100%). In contrast, conduction times along CT6 axons were much slower, with bimodal peaks occurring at 6 and 32 ms. Remarkably, almost none of the slowest conducting CT6s showed step-related activity, sensory receptive fields, or spontaneous activity. As a group, these enigmatic neurons were all but silent. Some of the CT6s with moderately conducting axons showed step-related behavior (35%), and this response was more precisely timed than that of the CT5s. We propose distinct functional roles for these diverse corticothalamic populations.
