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

Discriminating and categorizing the meaning of environmental stimuli and responding accordingly are essential for survival. The ventral hippocampus (vHPC) controls emotional and motivated behaviors in response to environmental cues and is hypothesized to do so in part by deciphering the positive or negative quality of these cues. Yet, what features of the environment are represented in the activity patterns of ventral CA1 (vCA1) neurons and whether the positive or negative meaning of stimuli is present at this stage remain unclear. Here, using two-photon calcium imaging across six experimental paradigms, we examined which features of salient stimuli are represented by vCA1 ensembles and found that identity, sensory features, and intensity-but not valence-are robustly encoded. These results offer a reappraisal of the vCA1 function, wherein information corresponding to individual stimulus features, and not their meaning, predominates. This organizational scheme may support flexible updating of stimulus value as internal states and environmental demands change.
