Hypothalamic neuronal outputs transmit sensorimotor signals at the onset of locomotor initiation.

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 lateral hypothalamus (LH) plays a critical role in sensory integration to organize behavior responses. However, how projection-defined LH neuronal outputs dynamically transmit sensorimotor signals to major downstream targets to organize behavior is unknown. Here, using multi-fiber photometry, we show that three major LH neuronal outputs projecting to the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN), ventral tegmental area (VTA), and lateral habenula (LHb) exhibit significant coherent activity in mice engaging sensory-evoked or self-initiated motor responses. Increased activity at LH axon terminals precedes movement initiation during active coping responses and the activity of serotonin neurons and dopamine neurons. The optogenetic activation of LH axon terminals in either of the DRN, VTA, or LHb was sufficient to increase motor initiation but had different effects on passive avoidance and sucrose consumption. Our findings support the complementary role of three projection-defined LH neuronal outputs in the transmission of sensorimotor signals to major downstream regions at movement onset.
