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 subpopulation of transient ON/OFF ganglion cells in the turtle retina transmits changes in stimulus intensity as series of distinct spike events. The temporal structure of these event sequences depends systematically on the stimulus and thus carries information about the preceding intensity change. To study the spike events' intra-retinal origins, we performed extracellular ganglion cell recordings and simultaneous intracellular recordings from horizontal and amacrine cells. Based on these data, we developed a computational retina model, reproducing spike event patterns with realistic intensity dependence under various experimental conditions. The model's main features are negative feedback from sustained amacrine onto bipolar cells, and a two-step cascade of ganglion cell suppression via a slow and a fast transient amacrine cell. Pharmacologically blocking glycinergic transmission results in disappearance of the spike event sequence, an effect predicted by the model if a single connection, namely suppression of the fast by the slow transient amacrine cell, is weakened. We suggest that the slow transient amacrine cell is glycinergic, whereas the other types release GABA. Thus, the interplay of amacrine cell mediated inhibition is likely to induce distinct temporal structure in ganglion cell responses, forming the basis for a temporal code.
