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

In humans, the hippocampus exhibits evident structural and connectivity differences along the longitudinal axis. Experiments in rodents and more recently in human subjects have stimulated several theories of functional longitudinal specialization. This question pertains directly to the management of neurosurgical patients, as nascent technologies permit more precise treatments that can selectively spare longitudinal regions. With this in mind, we investigated hippocampal longitudinal specialization in 32 human intracranial EEG subjects as they performed an associative recognition episodic memory task. Utilizing the behavioral contrasts available in this task, we characterize the neurophysiological features that distinguish the anterior versus posterior hippocampal activity during recollection and familiarity-based memory retrieval, as well as novelty processing. We use subspace representations to characterize longitudinal differences in the temporal dynamics of key computational processes ascribed to the hippocampus, namely pattern separation and pattern completion. We place our findings in the context of existing models, adding to sparse literature using direct brain recordings to explicate the functional differentiation along the hippocampal longitudinal axis in humans.
