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

The cerebral sources of magneto- and electroencephalography (MEG, EEG) signals can be represented by current dipoles. We used computational modeling of realistically shaped passive-membrane dendritic trees of pyramidal cells from the human cerebral cortex to examine how the spatial distribution of the synaptic inputs affects the current dipole. The magnitude of the total dipole moment vector was found to be proportional to the vertical location of the synaptic input. The dipole moment had opposite directions for inputs above and below a reversal point located near the soma. Inclusion of shunting-type inhibition either suppressed or enhanced the current dipole, depending on whether the excitatory and inhibitory synapses were on the same or opposite side of the reversal point. Relating the properties of the macroscopic current dipoles to dendritic current distributions can help to provide means for interpreting MEG and EEG data in terms of synaptic connection patterns within cortical areas.
