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

Recent evidence suggests that the primary motor cortex (M1) layer 5B pyramidal tract (PT5B) neurons show a decreased intrinsic excitability in mouse models of parkinsonism, which perhaps plays an important role in the pathophysiology of parkinsonian motor symptoms. PT5B neurons project to outputs in the brainstem and the spinal cord, leading to the direct motor expression of Parkinson's disease (PD) pathology. We set out to explore how the decreased PT5B neuron excitability influences the activity patterns of the M1 network. Using NEURON/NetPyNE simulators, we implemented detailed computer simulations of PT5B neurons based on control and 6-OHDA-treated mouse slice data. We placed these PT5B cells in an
