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

Much evidence supports a fundamental role for the subthalamic nucleus (STN) in rapidly stopping behavior when a stop signal or surprising event occurs, but the extent to which the STN may be involved in stopping cognitive processes is less clear. Here, we used an optogenetic approach to control STN activity in a delayed-match-to-position (DMTP) task where mice had to recall a response location after a delay. We first demonstrated that a surprising event impaired performance by both slowing the latency to respond and increasing the rate of errors. We next showed that these effects could be mimicked by brief optogenetic activation of the STN. Further, inhibiting STN during surprise blocked surprise-induced slowing, although without changing surprise-induced errors. These data are consistent with the hypothesis that STN is recruited by surprise to slow responding and that this can also interrupt cognitive processes. Under normal conditions STN-mediated stopping of behavior may slow or stop ongoing cognition to facilitate cognitive reorienting and adaptive responses to unexpected sensory information, but when malfunctioning, it could produce pathologies related to over-rigidity or increased distractibility.
