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

Subthalamic neurons display uncommon intrinsic behaviors that are likely to contribute to the motor and cognitive functions of the basal ganglia and to many of its disorders. Here, we report silent plateau potentials in these cells. These plateau responses start with a transient burst of action potentials that quickly diminish in amplitude because of spike inactivation and current shunt. The resulting interruption of spiking reveals a stable depolarization (up state) that clamps the cell membrane potential near -40 mV for several seconds. These plateau potentials coexist in single subthalamic neurons with more familiar patterns of burst and pacemaker firing. Within a narrow range of baseline membrane potentials (-67 to -60 mV), depolarization abruptly switches single cells from bistable to rhythmic bursts or tonic firing modes, thus selecting entirely distinct algorithms for integrating cortical and pallidal synaptic inputs.
