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

In the cerebro-cerebellar loop, outputs from the cerebral cortex are thought to be transmitted via monosynaptic corticopontine gray (PG) pathways and subsequently relayed to the cerebellum. However, it is unclear whether this pathway is used constitutively for cerebro-cerebellar transduction. We examined perioral sensory pathways by unit recording from Purkinje cells in ketamine/xylazine-anesthetized mice. Infraorbital nerve stimulations enhanced simple spikes (SSs) with short and long latencies (first and second peaks), followed by SS inhibition. The second peak and SS inhibition were suppressed by muscimol (a GABA
