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 neurochemical serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) is involved in a variety of behavioral functions including arousal, reward, and attention, and has a role in several complex disorders of the brain. In the auditory system, 5-HT fibers innervate a number of subcortical nuclei, yet the modulatory role of 5-HT in nearly all of these areas remains poorly understood. In this study, we examined spiking activity of neurons in the dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN) following iontophoretic application of 5-HT. The DCN is an early site in the auditory pathway that receives dense 5-HT fiber input from the raphe nuclei and has been implicated in the generation of auditory disorders marked by neuronal hyperexcitability. Recordings from the DCN in awake mice demonstrated that iontophoretic application of 5-HT had heterogeneous effects on spiking rate, spike timing, and evoked spiking threshold. We found that 56% of neurons exhibited increases in spiking rate during 5-HT delivery, while 22% had decreases in rate and the remaining neurons had no change. These changes were similar for spontaneous and evoked spiking and were typically accompanied by changes in spike timing. Spiking increases were associated with lower first spike latencies and jitter, while decreases in spiking generally had opposing effects on spike timing. Cases in which 5-HT application resulted in increased spiking also exhibited lower thresholds compared to the control condition, while cases of decreased spiking had no threshold change. We also found that the 5-HT
