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

Many motion-sensitive tangential cells of the lobula plate in blowflies are well described with respect to their visual response properties and the connectivity among them. In addition to extensive connections between tangential cells within the lobula plate of one brain hemisphere, there exist many connections between the two hemispheres. Most of these connections have been found for neurons sensitive to horizontal motion. For neurons sensitive to vertical motion, however, only the connection of vertical sensitive cells (VS cells) and a cell (V1 cell) projecting to the other hemisphere has been demonstrated thus far. The ability to identify the presynaptic and postsynaptic cells as well as the good accessibility has made this specific synapse a model for graded transmission of synapses. However, the exact type of synapse, electrical or chemical, is not known. Investigating the connectivity between VS cells 1-3 and the V1 cell by means of dual recordings, we find that the VS cells are coupled via electrical synapses to the V1 cell. The results were confirmed by visualizing dye coupling between VS cells and V1.
