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 consolidation process stabilizes a new initially labile memory. This consolidation could operate on a shorter timescale during wakefulness after initial motor learning. Within micro-offline learning states, sequences of simple individual actions learned through interleaved practice are condensed into a unified skill through a time-dependent consolidation process occurring during wakeful periods. While emerging evidence links Glutamate and GABA modulations in the primary motor cortex (M1) to motor learning, its relationship with micro-offline consolidation processes in brief resting states during motor learning is unclear. To investigate this issue, we employed Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to evaluate whether interindividual variation of different neurotransmitters at rest influences motor learning consolidation in humans. Our results point to the role of GABAB in micro-offline motor consolidation processes during motor learning in M1. This finding could have an important impact on planning neuropharmacology or non-invasive brain stimulation approaches in clinical domains, such as post-stroke rehabilitation.
