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

Cortical neurons display diverse firing patterns and synchronization properties. How anesthesia alters the firing response of different neuron groups relevant for sensory information processing is unclear. Here we investigated the graded effect of anesthesia on spontaneous and visual flash-induced spike activity of different neuron groups classified based on their spike waveform, firing rate, and population coupling (the extent neurons conform to population spikes). Single-unit activity was measured from multichannel extracellular recordings in deep layers of primary visual cortex of freely moving rats in wakefulness and at three concentrations of desflurane. Anesthesia generally decreased firing rate and increased population coupling and burstiness of neurons. Population coupling and firing rate became more correlated and the pairwise correlation between neurons became more predictable by their population coupling in anesthesia. During wakefulness, visual stimulation increased firing rate; this effect was the largest and the most prolonged in neurons that exhibited high population coupling and high firing rate. During anesthesia, the early increase in firing rate (20-150 ms post-stimulus) of these neurons was suppressed, their spike timing was delayed and split into two peaks. The late response (200-400 ms post-stimulus) of all neurons was also suppressed. We conclude that anesthesia alters the visual response of primarily high-firing highly coupled neurons, which may interfere with visual sensory processing. The increased association of population coupling and firing rate during anesthesia suggests a decrease in sensory information content.
