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

Neurons and circuits each with a distinct balance of intrinsic and synaptic conductances can generate similar behavior but sometimes respond very differently to perturbation. Examining a large family of circuit models with non-identical neurons and synapses underlying rhythmic behavior, we analyzed the circuits' response to modifications in single and multiple intrinsic conductances in the individual neurons. To summarize these changes over the entire range of perturbed parameters, we quantified circuit output by defining a global stability measure. Using this measure, we identified specific subsets of conductances that when perturbed generate similar behavior in diverse individuals of the population. Our unbiased clustering analysis enabled us to quantify circuit stability when simultaneously perturbing multiple conductances as a nonlinear combination of single conductance perturbations. This revealed surprising conductance combinations that can predict the response to specific perturbations, even when the remaining intrinsic and synaptic conductances are unknown. Therefore, our approach can expose hidden variability in the balance of intrinsic and synaptic conductances of the same neurons across different versions of the same circuit solely from the circuit response to perturbations. Developed for a specific family of model circuits, our quantitative approach to characterizing high-dimensional degenerate systems provides a conceptual and analytic framework to guide future theoretical and experimental studies on degeneracy and robustness.
