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

In the outer layers of the dorsal cochlear nucleus, a cerebellum-like structure in the auditory brain stem, multimodal sensory inputs drive parallel fibers to excite both principal (fusiform) cells and inhibitory cartwheel cells. Cartwheel cells, in turn, inhibit fusiform cells and other cartwheel cells. At the microcircuit level, it is unknown how these circuit components interact to modulate the activity of fusiform cells and thereby shape the processing of auditory information. Using a variety of approaches in mouse brain stem slices, we investigated the synaptic connectivity and synaptic strength among parallel fibers, cartwheel cells, and fusiform cells. In paired recordings of spontaneous and evoked activity, we found little overlap in parallel fiber input to neighboring neurons, and activation of multiple parallel fibers was required to evoke or alter action potential firing in cartwheel and fusiform cells. Thus neighboring neurons likely respond best to distinct subsets of sensory inputs. In contrast, there was significant overlap in inhibitory input to neighboring neurons. In recordings from synaptically coupled pairs, cartwheel cells had a high probability of synapsing onto nearby fusiform cells or other nearby cartwheel cells. Moreover, single cartwheel cells strongly inhibited spontaneous firing in single fusiform cells. These synaptic relationships suggest that the set of parallel fibers activated by a particular sensory stimulus determines whether cartwheel cells provide feedforward or lateral inhibition to their postsynaptic targets.
