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

This commentary highlights a "cerebellar classic" by Heinrich Obersteiner (1847-1922), the founder of Vienna's Neurological Institute. Obersteiner had a long-standing interest in the cerebellar cortex, its development, and pathology, having provided one of the early accurate descriptions of the external germinal layer (sometimes called the "marginal zone of Obersteiner" or "Obersteiner layer"). In his communication before the 81st meeting of the Society of German Natural Scientists and Physicians in Salzburg in September 1909, Obersteiner placed special emphasis on the histophysiology of the granule cell layer of the cerebellum and covered most of the fundamental elements of the cerebellar circuitry, on the basis of Ramón y Cajal's neuronism. Those elements are discussed in a historic and a modern perspective, including some recent ideas about the role of granule cells, beyond the mere relay of sensorimotor information from mossy fibers to the Purkinje cells, in learning and cognition.
