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

Understanding the patterns of interconnections between neurons in complex networks is an enormous challenge using traditional physiological approaches. Here we combine the use of an information theoretic approach with intracellular recording to establish patterns of connections between layers of interneurons in a neural network responsible for mediating reflex movements of the hind limb of an insect. By analysing delayed mutual information of the synaptic and spiking responses of sensory neurons, spiking and nonspiking interneurons in response to movement of a joint receptor that monitors the position of the tibia relative to the femur, we are able to predict the patterns of interconnections between the layers of sensory neurons and interneurons in the network, with results matching closely those known from the literature. In addition, we use cross-correlation methods to establish the sign of those interconnections and show that they also show a high degree of similarity with those established for these networks over the last 30 years. The method proposed in this paper has great potential to elucidate functional connectivity at the neuronal level in many different neuronal networks.
