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

Cerebellar processing contributes to sensory salience, cognition, and behavioral flexibility. Here, we report that learning on a sensory evidence-accumulation task in mice is accelerated by cue-locked optogenetic stimulation of Purkinje cells but not by continuous optogenetic interference. Latent-state analysis revealed that accelerated learning was associated with enhanced focus on current over past trials. A cerebellum-specific transgenic autism model with disrupted Purkinje cell function also unexpectedly showed accelerated learning as well as enhanced reactivity to touch and auditory cues. Transgenic mice and wild-type mice receiving cue-locked stimulation showed prolonged sensory responses in Purkinje cell complex spikes and anterior cingulate cortex, and a subset of Purkinje cells in crus I showed on-task enhanced response to stimuli in wild-type mice. Sensory salience and task state may be different facets of a complex-spike-based mechanism for regulating brain-wide learning mechanisms. These findings potentially link cerebellum-dependent sensory salience with a global weak coherence account of autism.
