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 hippocampal subfield CA3 is thought to function as an auto-associative network that stores experiences as memories. Information from these experiences arrives directly from the entorhinal cortex as well as indirectly through the dentate gyrus, which performs sparsification and decorrelation. The computational purpose for these dual input pathways has not been firmly established. We model CA3 as a Hopfield-like network that stores both dense, correlated encodings and sparse, decorrelated encodings. As more memories are stored, the former merge along shared features while the latter remain distinct. We verify our model's prediction in rat CA3 place cells, which exhibit more distinct tuning during theta phases with sparser activity. Finally, we find that neural networks trained in multitask learning benefit from a loss term that promotes both correlated and decorrelated representations. Thus, the complementary encodings we have found in CA3 can provide broad computational advantages for solving complex tasks.
