Modeling Post-Scratching Locomotion with Two Rhythm Generators and a Shared Pattern Formation.
Article in Biology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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 study aimed to present a model of post-scratching locomotion with two intermixed central pattern generator (CPG) networks, one for scratching and another for locomotion. We hypothesized that the rhythm generator layers for each CPG are different, with the condition that both CPGs share their supraspinal circuits and their motor outputs at the level of their pattern formation networks. We show that the model reproduces the post-scratching locomotion latency of 6.2 ± 3.5 s, and the mean cycle durations for scratching and post-scratching locomotion of 0.3 ± 0.09 s and 1.7 ± 0.6 s, respectively, which were observed in a previous experimental study. Our findings show how the transition of two rhythmic movements could be mediated by information exchanged between their CPG circuits through routes converging in a common pattern formation layer. This integrated organization may provide flexible and effective connectivity despite the rigidity of the anatomical connections in the spinal cord circuitry.
