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

Spike-frequency adaptation causes reduced spiking during prolonged stimulation, but the full impact of adaptation on neural coding is far more complex, especially if one takes into account the diversity of biophysical mechanisms mediating adaptation and the different ways in which neural information can be encoded. Here, we show that adaptation has opposite effects depending on the neural coding strategy and the biophysical mechanism responsible for adaptation. Under noisy conditions, calcium-activated K(+) current (I(AHP)) improved efficient spike-rate coding at the expense of spike-time coding by regularizing the spike train elicited by slow or constant inputs; noise power was increased at high frequencies but reduced at low frequencies, consistent with noise shaping that improves coding of low- frequency signals. In contrast, voltage-activated M-type K(+) current (I(M)) improved spike-time coding at the expense of spike-rate coding by stopping the neuron from spiking repetitively to slow inputs so that it could generate isolated, well timed spikes in response to fast inputs. Using dynamical systems analysis, we demonstrate how I(AHP) minimizes perturbation of the interspike interval caused by high- frequency noise, whereas I(M) minimizes disruption of spike-timing accuracy caused by repetitive spiking. The dichotomous outcomes are related directly to the distinct activation requirements for I(AHP) and I(M), which in turn dictate whether those currents mediate negative feedback onto spiking or membrane potential. Thus, based on their distinct activation properties, I(AHP) implements noise shaping that improves spike-rate coding of low-frequency signals, whereas I(M) implements high-pass filtering that improves spike-time coding of high- frequency signals.
