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

Cortical dynamics and computations are strongly influenced by diverse GABAergic interneurons, including those expressing parvalbumin (PV), somatostatin (SST), and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP). Together with excitatory (E) neurons, they form a canonical microcircuit and exhibit counterintuitive nonlinear phenomena. One instance of such phenomena is response reversal, whereby SST neurons show opposite responses to top-down modulation via VIP depending on the presence of bottom-up sensory input, indicating that the network may function in different regimes under different stimulation conditions. Combining analytical and computational approaches, we demonstrate that model networks with multiple interneuron subtypes and experimentally identified short-term plasticity mechanisms can implement response reversal. Surprisingly, despite not directly affecting SST and VIP activity, PV-to-E short-term depression has a decisive impact on SST response reversal. We show how response reversal relates to inhibition stabilization and the paradoxical effect in the presence of several short-term plasticity mechanisms demonstrating that response reversal coincides with a change in the indispensability of SST for network stabilization. In summary, our work suggests a role of short-term plasticity mechanisms in generating nonlinear phenomena in networks with multiple interneuron subtypes and makes several experimentally testable predictions.
