The Middle Managers: Thalamic and Cholinergic Contributions To Coordinating Top-Down And Bottom-Up Processing.
Article in Current opinion in behavioral sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Methodological advances have facilitated extensive revision of traditional views of thalamic and cholinergic contributions to cognition and behavior. Increasing attention to the integrative capabilities of the thalamus highlights its role beyond a simple sensory relay, recognizing its complex connectivity and role in orchestrating different phases of attention. Correspondingly, modern conceptualizations position the cholinergic system as key in integrating sensory information with attention and goals. These theoretical developments have occurred largely in parallel, but have large conceptual overlap. We review this overlap, including evidence from animal, patient, neuroimaging, and computational studies, and suggest thalamo-cholinergic cognition plays a key role in coordinating stable and flexible attention.
