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

Visual attention is a selective process of visual information and improves perceptual performance by modulating activities of neurons in the visual system. It has been reported that attention increased firing rates of neurons, reduced their response variability and improved reliability of coding relevant stimuli. Recent neurophysiological studies demonstrated that attention also enhanced the synaptic efficacy between neurons mediated through NMDA and AMPA receptors. Majority of computational models of attention usually are based on firing rates, which cannot explain attentional modulations observed at the synaptic level. To understand mechanisms of attentional modulations at the synaptic level, we proposed a neural network consisting of three layers, corresponding to three different brain regions. Each layer has excitatory and inhibitory neurons. Each neuron was modeled by the Hodgkin-Huxley model. The connections between neurons were through excitatory AMPA and NMDA receptors, as well as inhibitory GABA
