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

Natural sounds exhibit statistical variation in their spectrotemporal structure. This variation is central to identification of unique environmental sounds and to vocal communication. Using limited resources, the auditory system must create a faithful representation of sounds across the full range of variation in temporal statistics. Imaging studies in humans demonstrated that the auditory cortex is sensitive to temporal correlations. However, the mechanisms by which the auditory cortex represents the spectrotemporal structure of sounds and how neuronal activity adjusts to vastly different statistics remain poorly understood. In this study, we recorded responses of neurons in the primary auditory cortex of awake rats to sounds with systematically varied temporal correlation, to determine whether and how this feature alters sound encoding. Neuronal responses adapted to changing stimulus temporal correlation. This adaptation was mediated by a change in the firing rate gain of neuronal responses rather than their spectrotemporal properties. This gain adaptation allowed neurons to maintain similar firing rates across stimuli with different statistics, preserving their ability to efficiently encode temporal modulation. This dynamic gain control mechanism may underlie comprehension of vocalizations and other natural sounds under different contexts, subject to distortions in temporal correlation structure via stretching or compression.
