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

The role of the cerebellar cortex in eyeblink classical conditioning remains unclear. Experimental manipulations that disrupt the normal function impair learning to various degrees, and task parameters may be important factors in determining the severity of impairment. This study examined the role of cerebellar cortex in eyeblink conditioning under conditioned stimulus?unconditioned stimulus intervals known to be optimal or nonoptimal for learning. Using infusions of picrotoxin to the interpositus nucleus of the rabbit cerebellum, the authors pharmacologically disrupted input from the cerebellar cortex while training with an interstimulus interval (ISI)-switch procedure. One group of rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) was 1st trained with a 250-ms ISI (optimal) and then switched to a 750-ms ISI (nonoptimal). A 2nd group was trained in the opposite order. The most striking effect was that picrotoxin-treated rabbits initially trained with a 250-ms ISI learned comparably to controls, but those initially trained with a 750-ms ISI were severely impaired. These results suggest that functional input from cerebellar cortex becomes increasingly important for the interpositus nucleus to learn delay eyeblink conditioning as the ISI departs from an optimal interval.
