Diverse functions of the auditory cortico-collicular pathway.
Review in Hearing research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
Sensory processing is frequently conceptualized as a linear flow of information from peripheral receptors through hierarchically organized brain regions, ultimately reaching the cortex. In reality, this ascending stream is accompanied by massive descending connections that cascade from the cortex toward more peripheral subcortical structures. In the central auditory system, these feedback connections influence information processing at virtually every level of the pathway, including the thalamus, midbrain, and brainstem, and exert influence even at the level of the cochlea. The auditory cortico-collicular system, which connects the auditory cortex to the auditory midbrain, mediates manifold functions ranging from tuning shifts to defense behavior. In this review, we first summarize recent findings regarding the anatomical organization and physiological properties of the auditory cortico-collicular pathway. We then highlight several new studies that show that this projection system mediates high-level cognitive processes, acoustico-motor behaviors, and auditory plasticity, and discuss the circuit mechanisms through which they are mediated. Finally, we discuss remaining unanswered questions regarding cortico-collicular circuitry and function and potential avenues for future exploration.
