Rats synchronize predictively to metronomes.
Article in iScience, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Predictive auditory-motor synchronization, in which rhythmic movements anticipate rhythmic sounds, is at the core of the human capacity for music. Rodents show impressive capabilities in timing and motor tasks, but their ability to predictively coordinate sensation and action has not been demonstrated. Here, we reveal a clear capacity for predictive auditory-motor synchronization in rodent species using a modeling approach for the quantitative exploration of synchronization behaviors. We trained 8 rats to synchronize their licking to metronomes with tempi ranging from 0.5to 2 Hz and observed periodic lick patterns locked to metronome beats. We developed a flexible Markovian modeling framework to formally test how well different candidate strategies could explain the observed lick patterns. The best models required predictive control of licking that could not be explained by reactive strategies, indicating that predictive auditory-motor synchronization may be more widely shared across mammalian species than previously appreciated.
