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 substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNpr), an output structure of the basal ganglia, is hypothesized to gate movement execution. Previous studies in the eye movement system focusing mostly on saccades have reported that SNpr neurons are tonically active and either pause or increase their firing during movements, consistent with the gating role. We recorded activity in the SNpr of two monkeys during smooth pursuit and saccadic eye movements. SNpr neurons exhibited highly diverse reaction patterns during pursuit, including frequent increases and decreases in firing rate, uncorrelated responses in different movement directions and in reward conditions that resulted in the high dimensional activity of single neurons. These diverse temporal patterns surpassed those in other oculomotor areas in the medial-temporal cortex, frontal cortex, basal ganglia, and cerebellum. These findings suggest that temporal properties of the responses enrich the coding capacity of the basal ganglia output beyond gating or permitting movement.
