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

Before the onset of hearing, cochlea-generated patterns of spontaneous spike activity drive the maturation of central auditory circuits. In the glycinergic sound localization pathway from the medial nucleus of the trapezoid body (MNTB) to the lateral superior olive (LSO) this spontaneous activity guides the strengthening and silencing of synapses which underlies tonotopic map refinement. However, the mechanisms by which patterned activity regulates synaptic refinement in the MNTB-LSO pathway are still poorly understood. To address this question, we recorded from LSO neurons in slices from prehearing mice while stimulating MNTB afferents with stimulation patterns that mimicked those present in vivo. We found that these semi-natural stimulation patterns reliably elicited a novel form of long-term potentiation (LTP) of MNTB-LSO synapses. Stimulation patterns that lacked the characteristic high-frequency (200 Hz) component of prehearing spike activity failed to elicit potentiation. LTP was calcium dependent, required the activation of both g-protein coupled GABA
