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

Grid cells provide a metric representation of self-location. They are organized into modules, showing discretized scales of grid spacing, but the underlying mechanism remains elusive. In this modeling study, we propose that the hexagonal lattice of pyramidal cell patches may underlie the discretization of grid spacing and orientation. In the continuous attractor network composed of interneurons, stellate and pyramidal cells, the hexagonal lattice of bump attractors is specifically aligned to the patch lattice under 22 conditions determined by the geometry of the patch lattice, while pyramidal cells exhibit synchrony to diverse extents. Given the bump attractor lattice in each module originates from those 22 scenarios, the experimental data on the grid spacing ratio and orientation difference between modules can be reproduced. This work recapitulates the patterns of grid spacing versus orientation in individual animals and reveals the correlation between microstructures and firing fields, providing a systems-level mechanism for grid modularity.
