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

SignificanceThe information that one region of the brain transmits to another is usually viewed through the lens of firing rates. However, if the output neurons could vary the timing of their spikes, then, through synchronization, they would spotlight information that may be critical for control of behavior. Here we report that, in the cerebellum, Purkinje cell populations that share a preference for error convey, to the nucleus, when to decelerate the movement, by reducing their firing rates and temporally synchronizing the remaining spikes.
