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

rationaleBoth prefrontal cortex (PFC) GABA

objectivesWe examined PFC GABA

methodsMale rats were well-trained on the SAT that required identifying whether a brief visual stimulus (500-50 ms) was present/absent by pressing one of two levers. They then received intra-PFC infusions of the GABA

resultsBoth doses of bicuculline impaired vigilance, selectively increasing errors during nonsignal trials. Intra-PFC MK-801 induced subtle impairments at short signal durations. Systemic MK-801 impaired performance and increased response latencies. Visual and auditory conditional discrimination was impaired by 50 ng, but not 12.5 ng of bicuculline.

conclusionsThese findings highlight a key role for PFC GABA transmission in reducing sensitivity to distractors during attentional performance. Furthermore, they reveal that disruption of GABA signaling can interfere with the ability to implement conditional rules.
