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

The cholinergic system of the basal forebrain plays an integral part in behaviors ranging from attention to learning, partly by altering the impact of noise in neural populations. The circuit computations underlying cholinergic actions are confounded by recent findings that forebrain cholinergic neurons corelease both acetylcholine (ACh) and GABA. We have identified that corelease of ACh and GABA by cholinergic inputs to the claustrum, a structure implicated in the control of attention, has opposing effects on the electrical activity of claustrum neurons that project to cortical vs. subcortical targets. These actions differentially alter neuronal gain and dynamic range in the two types of neurons. In model networks, the differential effects of ACh and GABA toggle network efficiency and the impact of noise on population dynamics between two different projection subcircuits. Such cholinergic switching between subcircuits provides a potential logic for neurotransmitter corelease in implementing behaviorally relevant computations.
