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

Conditioned inhibition is an important process to suppress learned responses for optimal adaptation, but its underlying biological mechanism is poorly understood. Here we used safety learning (SL)/fear discrimination after fear conditioning as a conditioned inhibition model because it demonstrates the essential properties of summation and retardation. Activity of the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC) parvalbumin (PV) neurons bidirectionally regulates spiking levels of dmPFC excitatory neurons and fear states. Responses to safety cues are increased in dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and in PV neurons in dmPFC after SL. Plasticity in the VTA is implicated, since SL requires activation of
