The relative impact of microstimulation parameters on movement generation.
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 22 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
Microstimulation is widely used in neurophysiology to characterize brain areas with behavior and in clinical therapeutics to treat neurological disorder. Current intensity and frequency, which respectively influence activation patterns in spatial and temporal domains, are typically selected to elicit a desired response, but their effective influence on behavior has not been thoroughly examined. We delivered microstimulation to the primate superior colliculus while systematically varying each parameter to capture effects of a large range of parameter space. We found that frequency was more effective in driving output properties, whereas properties changed gradually with intensity. Interestingly, when different parameter combinations were matched for total charge, effects on behavioral properties became seemingly equivalent. This study provides a first level resource for choosing desired parameter ranges to effectively manipulate behavior. It also provides insights into interchangeability of parameters, which can assist clinical microstimulation that looks to appropriately control behavior within designated constraints, such as power consumption.
