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

Freely-moving rodents can solve short-term memory (STM) tasks using "response bridging" strategies, relying on motor patterns instead of mnemonic functions. This limits the interpretational power of results yielded by some STM tasks in rodents. To determine whether head-fixed monkeys can employ parallel non-mnemonic strategies, we measured eye position and velocity of two head-fixed monkeys performing a delayed response reaching and grasping task. We found that eye position during the delay period was correlated with reach direction. Moreover, reach direction as well as grasp object could be predicted from eye kinematics during the delay. Both eye velocity and eye position contributed to the prediction of reach direction. These results show that motor signals carry sufficient information to allow monkeys to solve STM tasks without using any mnemonic functions. Thus, the potential of animals to solve STM tasks using motor patterns is more diverse than previously recognized.
