Context-independent encoding of passive and active self-motion in vestibular afferent fibers during locomotion in primates.
Article in Nature communications, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
The vestibular system detects head motion to coordinate vital reflexes and provide our sense of balance and spatial orientation. A long-standing hypothesis has been that projections from the central vestibular system back to the vestibular sensory organs (i.e., the efferent vestibular system) mediate adaptive sensory coding during voluntary locomotion. However, direct proof for this idea has been lacking. Here we recorded from individual semicircular canal and otolith afferents during walking and running in monkeys. Using a combination of mathematical modeling and nonlinear analysis, we show that afferent encoding is actually identical across passive and active conditions, irrespective of context. Thus, taken together our results are instead consistent with the view that the vestibular periphery relays robust information to the brain during primate locomotion, suggesting that context-dependent modulation instead occurs centrally to ensure that coding is consistent with behavioral goals during locomotion.
