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 the role of different inhibitory interneuron subtypes in cortical computations is essential for explaining sensory processing in the neocortex. Orientation tuning in primate primary visual cortex (V1) provides a canonical model for studying how cortical sensory circuits and inhibitory interneurons compute relevant stimulus features. The selective feedforward convergence of non-orientation-selective thalamic afferents establishes initial orientation tuning in the granular V1 input layer. As signals propagate through the cortical microcircuit, orientation tuning sharpens in extra-granular layers, yet the underlying mechanisms and the contribution of specific inhibitory neuron subtypes remain unresolved. To study the role of the largest cortical inhibitory neuron subclass, parvalbumin-expressing (
