Optimal routing to cerebellum-like structures.
Article in Nature neuroscience, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
The vast expansion from mossy fibers to cerebellar granule cells (GrC) produces a neural representation that supports functions including associative and internal model learning. This motif is shared by other cerebellum-like structures and has inspired numerous theoretical models. Less attention has been paid to structures immediately presynaptic to GrC layers, whose architecture can be described as a 'bottleneck' and whose function is not understood. We therefore develop a theory of cerebellum-like structures in conjunction with their afferent pathways that predicts the role of the pontine relay to cerebellum and the glomerular organization of the insect antennal lobe. We highlight a new computational distinction between clustered and distributed neuronal representations that is reflected in the anatomy of these two brain structures. Our theory also reconciles recent observations of correlated GrC activity with theories of nonlinear mixing. More generally, it shows that structured compression followed by random expansion is an efficient architecture for flexible computation.
