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

Synaptic inhibition shapes the temporal processing of sounds in auditory cortex, but the contribution of specific inhibitory cell types to temporal processing remains unclear. We recorded from parvalbumin-expressing (PV+) interneurons in auditory cortex to determine how they encode gaps in noise, a model of temporal processing more generally. We found that PV+ cells had stronger and more prevalent on-responses, off-responses, and postresponse suppression compared with presumed pyramidal cells. We summarize this pattern of differences as "deeper modulation" of gap responses in PV+ cells. Response latencies were also markedly faster for PV+ cells. We found a similar pattern of deeper modulation and faster latencies for responses to white noise bursts, suggesting that these are general properties of on- and off-responses in PV+ cells rather than specific features of gap encoding. These findings are consistent with a role for PV+ cells in providing dynamic gain control by pooling local activity. NEW & NOTEWORTHY We found that parvalbumin-expressing (PV+) interneurons in auditory cortex showed more deeply modulated responses to both gaps in noise and bursts of noise, suggesting that they are optimized for the rapid detection of stimulus transients.
