Thalamic POm projections to the dorsolateral striatum of rats: potential pathway for mediating stimulus-response associations for sensorimotor habits.
Article in Journal of neurophysiology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 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
The dorsolateral part of the striatum (DLS) represents the initial stage for processing sensorimotor information in the basal ganglia. Although the DLS receives much of its input from the primary somatosensory (SI) cortex, peripheral somesthetic stimulation activates the DLS at latencies that are shorter than the response latencies recorded in the SI cortex. To identify the subcortical regions that transmit somesthetic information directly to the DLS, we deposited small quantities of retrograde tracers at DLS sites that displayed consistent time-locked responses to controlled whisker stimulation. The neurons that were retrogradely labeled by these injections were located mainly in the sensorimotor cortex and, to a lesser degree, in the amygdala and thalamus. Quantitative analysis of neuronal labeling in the thalamus indicated that the strongest thalamic input to the whisker-sensitive part of the DLS originates from the medial posterior nucleus (POm), a somesthetic-related region that receives inputs from the spinal trigeminal nucleus. Anterograde tracer injections in POm confirmed that this thalamic region projects to the DLS neuropil. In subsequent experiments, simultaneous recordings from POm and the DLS during whisker stimulation showed that POm consistently responds before the DLS. These results suggest that POm could transmit somesthetic information to the DLS, and this modality-specific thalamostriatal pathway may cooperate with the thalamostriatal projections that originate from the intralaminar nuclei.
