The Adaptation Model Offers a Challenge for the Predictive Coding Account of Mismatch Negativity.
Article in Frontiers in human neuroscience, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
An unpredictable stimulus elicits a stronger event-related response than a high-probability stimulus. This differential in response magnitude is termed the mismatch negativity (MMN). Over the past decade, it has become increasingly popular to explain the MMN terms of predictive coding, a proposed general principle for the way the brain realizes Bayesian inference when it interprets sensory information. This perspective article is a reminder that the issue of MMN generation is far from settled, and that an alternative model in terms of adaptation continues to lurk in the wings. The adaptation model has been discounted because of the unrealistic and simplistic fashion in which it tends to be set up. Here, simulations of auditory cortex incorporating a modern version of the adaptation model are presented. These show that locally operating short-term synaptic depression accounts both for adaptation due to stimulus repetition and for MMN responses. This happens even in cases where adaptation has been ruled out as an explanation of the MMN (e.g., in the stimulus omission paradigm and the multi-standard control paradigm). Simulation models that would demonstrate the viability of predictive coding in a similarly multifaceted way are currently missing from the literature, and the reason for this is discussed in light of the current results.
