Odor coding by modules of coherent mitral/tufted cells in the vertebrate olfactory bulb.
Article in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers.
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.
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
Odor representation in the olfactory bulb (OB) undergoes a transformation from a combinatorial glomerular map to a distributed mitral/tufted (M/T) cell code. To understand this transformation, we analyzed the odor representation in large populations of individual M/T cells in the Xenopus OB. The spontaneous [Ca(2+)] activities of M/T cells appeared to be irregular, but there were groups of spatially distributed neurons showing synchronized [Ca(2+)] activities. These neurons were always connected to the same glomerulus. Odorants elicited complex spatiotemporal response patterns in M/T cells where nearby neurons generally showed little correlation. But the responses of neurons connected to the same glomerulus were virtually identical, irrespective of whether the responses were excitatory or inhibitory, and independent of the distance between them. Synchronous neurons received correlated EPSCs and were coupled by electrical conductances that could account for the correlated responses. Thus, at the output stage of the OB, odors are represented by modules of distributed and synchronous M/T cells associated with the same glomeruli. This allows for parallel input to higher brain centers.
