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

Neurons in the subthalamic nucleus occupy a pivotal position in the circuitry of the basal ganglia. They receive direct excitatory input from the cerebral cortex and the intralaminar nuclei of the thalamus, and directly excite the inhibitory basal ganglia output neurons in the internal segment of the globus pallidus and the substantia nigra. They are also engaged in a reciprocal synaptic arrangement with inhibitory neurons in the external segment of the globus pallidus. Although once viewed as a simple relay of extrinsic input to the basal ganglia, physiological studies of subthalamic neurons have revealed that activity in these neurons does not directly reflect their pattern of extrinsic excitation. Subthalamic neurons are autonomously active at rates comparable to those observed in vivo, and they generate complex patterns of intrinsic activity arising from the interactions between voltage sensitive ion channels on the somatodendritic and axonal membranes. Extrinsic synaptic excitation does not create the firing pattern of the subthalamic neuron, but rather controls the timing of action potentials generated intrinsically. The dopaminergic innervation of the subthalamic nucleus, although moderate, can directly influence firing patterns by acting both on synaptic transmission and voltage-sensitive ion channels responsible for intrinsic properties. Furthermore, chronic dopamine depletion in Parkinson's disease may modify both synaptic transmission and integration in the subthalamic nucleus, in addition to its effects on other regions of the basal ganglia.
