Muscle spindles provide flexible sensory feedback for movement sequences.
Article in Cell reports, 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
Sensory feedback is essential for motor performance and must adapt to task demands. Muscle spindle afferents (MSAs) are a major primary source of feedback about movement. Their responses are readily modulated online by fusimotor neurons and, in the unique case of jaw MSAs whose cell bodies lie within the central nervous system, by central synaptic inputs. They are, therefore, a powerful site for implementing flexible sensorimotor control. We record from MSAs innervating the jaw musculature of mice performing a directed lick sequence task. Jaw MSAs encode complex jaw-tongue kinematics. However, kinematic encoding alone accounts for less than half of jaw MSA spiking variability. Jaw MSA coding of kinematics changes based on sequence progression (beginning, middle, or end of the sequence or reward consumption), suggesting that jaw MSAs are flexibly tuned across the task. Dynamic modulation of feedback signals from jaw MSAs may shape sensorimotor control during complex behavior.
