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

Transfer entropy (TE) is an information-theoretic measure for the investigation of causal interaction between two systems without a requirement of pre-specific interaction model (such as: linear or nonlinear). We introduced an efficient algorithm to calculate TE values between two systems based on observed time signals. By this method, we demonstrated that the TE correctly estimated the coupling strength and the direction of information transmission of two nonlinearly coupled systems. We also calculated TE values of real local field potentials (LFPs) recorded simultaneously in the lateral prefrontal cortex (LPFC) and the striatum of the behavioral monkey, and observed that the TE value from the LPFC to the striatum was stronger than that from the striatum to the LPFC, consistent with anatomical structure between the two areas. Moreover, the TE value dynamically varied dependent on behavior stages of the monkey. These results from simulated and real LFPs data suggested that the TE was able to effectively estimate functional connectivity between different brain regions and characterized their dynamical properties.
