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

A hallmark of adaptive behavior is the ability to flexibly respond to sensory cues. To understand how neural circuits implement this flexibility, it is critical to resolve how a static anatomical connectome can be modulated such that functional connectivity in the network can be dynamically regulated. Here, we review recent work in the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans on this topic. EM studies have mapped anatomical connectomes of many C. elegans animals, highlighting the level of stereotypy in the anatomical network. Brain-wide calcium imaging and studies of specified neural circuits have uncovered striking flexibility in the functional coupling of neurons. The coupling between neurons is controlled by neuromodulators that act over long timescales. This gives rise to persistent behavioral states that animals switch between, allowing them to generate adaptive behavioral responses across environmental conditions. Thus, the dynamic coupling of neurons enables multiple behavioral states to be encoded in a physically stereotyped connectome.
