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
Striatal cholinergic interneurons (CINs) are key to regulating behavioral flexibility, involving both extinguishing learned actions and adopting new ones. However, the mechanisms driving these processes remain elusive. In this study, we initially demonstrate that chronic alcohol consumption disrupts the burst-pause dynamics of CINs and impairs behavioral flexibility. We next aimed to elucidate the mechanisms by which CIN dynamics control behavioral flexibility. We found that extinction learning enhances acetylcholine (ACh) release and that mimicking this enhancement through optogenetic induction of CIN burst firing accelerates the extinction process. In addition, we demonstrate that disrupting CIN pauses via continuous optogenetic stimulation reversibly impairs the updating of goal-directed behaviors. Overall, we demonstrate that CIN burst firing, which increases ACh release, promotes extinction learning, aiding the extinguishment of learned behaviors. Conversely, CIN firing pauses, which lead to ACh dips, are crucial for reversal learning, facilitating the adaptation of new actions. These findings shed light on how CIN dynamics regulate behavioral flexibility.
