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

Synchronization has been implicated in neuronal communication, but causal evidence remains indirect. We use optogenetics to generate depolarizing currents in pyramidal neurons of the cat visual cortex, emulating excitatory synaptic inputs under precise temporal control, while measuring spike output. The cortex transforms constant excitation into strong gamma-band synchronization, revealing the well-known cortical resonance. Increasing excitation with ramps increases the strength and frequency of synchronization. Slow, symmetric excitation profiles reveal hysteresis of power and frequency. White-noise input sequences enable causal analysis of network transmission, establishing that the cortical gamma-band resonance preferentially transmits coherent input components. Models composed of recurrently coupled excitatory and inhibitory units uncover a crucial role of feedback inhibition and suggest that hysteresis can arise through spike-frequency adaptation. The presented approach provides a powerful means to investigate the resonance properties of local circuits and probe how these properties transform input and shape transmission.
