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

Understanding how the brain rapidly processes neural information through large-scale network dynamics is fundamental to neuroscience. Resting-state fMRI (rsfMRI) captures networks by probing spontaneous neural activity fluctuations, yet whether these networks can accommodate fast, sensitive information processing remains unknown. Here, we reveal brain-wide rsfMRI network dynamics (i.e., states and their transitions) that enable fast information processing through rapid activity-triggered network reconfiguration in male rats. Following activation of a single optogenetically evoked somatosensory thalamic input, states and transitions associated with internally-oriented information processing are quickly suppressed and diverted through basal forebrain and hypothalamus to strengthen externally-oriented (i.e., sensory) processes. Simultaneous rsfMRI and electrophysiology measurements in somatosensory and cingulate cortices demonstrate that intra-regional wide-band and inter-regional narrow-band (i.e., slow-oscillations) neural activity synchronizations directly drive rsfMRI network dynamics and reconfiguration to support fast processing of single thalamic input. Our study uncovers fast interactions between neural activity and rsfMRI networks in processing single neural input.
