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 inferior colliculus occupies a central position in ascending and descending auditory pathways. A substantial proportion of its neurons are GABAergic, and these neurons contribute to intracollicular circuits as well as to extrinsic projections to numerous targets. A variety of types of evidence - morphology, physiology, molecular markers - indicate that the GABAergic cells can be divided into at least four subtypes that serve different functions. However, there has yet to emerge a unified scheme for distinguishing these subtypes. The present review discusses these criteria and, where possible, relates the different properties. In contrast to GABAergic cells in cerebral cortex, where subtypes are much more thoroughly characterized, those in the inferior colliculus contribute substantially to numerous long range extrinsic projections. At present, the best characterized subtype is a GABAergic cell with a large soma, dense perisomatic synaptic inputs and a large axon that provides rapid auditory input to the thalamus. This large GABAergic subtype projects to additional targets, and other subtypes also project to the thalamus. The eventual characterization of these subtypes can be expected to reveal multiple functions of these inhibitory cells and the many circuits to which they contribute.
