Coincidence detection between apical and basal dendrites drives STDP in cerebellar Golgi cells.
Article in Communications biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Cerebellar Golgi cells (GoCs), segregate parallel fiber (pf), and mossy fiber (mf) inputs on apical and basal dendrites. Computational modeling predicted that this anatomical arrangement, coupled with a specific ionic channel localization, could be instrumental to drive STDP at mf-GoC synapses. Here, we test this hypothesis with GoC patch-clamp recordings in acute mouse cerebellar slices. Repeated mf-pf pairing on the theta-band within a ± 50 ms time window induces anti-symmetric Hebbian-STDP, with spike-timing long-term potentiation or depression (st-LTP or st-LTD) occurring when action potentials (APs) elicited by pf stimulation follow or precede the activation of mf synapses, respectively. Mf-GoC STDP induction requires AP backpropagation from apical to basal dendrites, NMDA receptor activation at mf-GoC synapses, and intracellular calcium changes. Importantly, STDP is inverted by inhibitory control. Thus, experimental evidence confirms and extends model predictions suggesting that GoC STDP can bind molecular layer to granular layer activity, regulating cerebellar computation and learning.
