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

To understand how odor information is represented and processed in the antennal lobe (AL) of Drosophila melanogaster, we have optically recorded glomerular calcium responses to single odors and odor mixtures from olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) and projection neurons (PNs). Odor mixtures offer a good tool to analyze odor processing because experimental results can be tested against clear predictions. At the level of the OSNs, the representation of odor mixtures could be predicted from the response patterns of the components in most cases. PN responses to mixtures, however, provide evidences of interglomerular inhibition. Application of picrotoxin (PTX), an antagonist of GABA(A)-like receptors, enhanced odor responses, modified their temporal course, and eliminated mixture suppression at the PN level. Our results can be best explained by postulating the existence of at least two local networks in the fly AL: a glomerulus specific network, which includes excitatory and inhibitory connections and a PTX sensitive inhibitory global network that acts on all glomeruli with proportional strength to the global AL input.
