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

Corticothalamic projections to sensorimotor thalamic nuclei show modest firing rates and serve to modulate the activity of thalamic relay neurons. By contrast, here we find that high-order corticothalamic projections from the prelimbic (PL) cortex to the anterior paraventricular thalamic nucleus (aPVT) maintain high-frequency activity and evoke strong synaptic excitation of aPVT neurons in rats. In a significant fraction of aPVT cells, such high-frequency excitation of PL-aPVT projections leads to a rapid decay of action potential amplitudes, followed by a depolarization block (DB) that strongly limits aPVT maximum firing rates, thereby regulating both defensive and appetitive behaviors in a frequency-dependent manner. Strong inhibitory inputs from the anteroventral portion of the thalamic reticular nucleus (avTRN) inhibit the firing rate of aPVT neurons during periods of high-spike fidelity but restore it during prominent DB, suggesting that avTRN activity can modulate the effects of PL inputs on aPVT firing rates to ultimately control motivated behaviors.
