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

Synaptic filtering by short-term plasticity (STP) influences the strength and timing of the input-output function of neurons during ongoing activity. In the medial nucleus of the trapezoid body (MNTB), an ultrafast sign-inverting relay, short-term depression (STD) of the dominant calyx of Held inputs affects the exquisite output timing of these neurons and thereby influences sound processing relevant for sound source localization. We find that additional excitatory non-calyceal inputs, targeting soma and dendrites of MNTB neurons, show prominent frequency-dependent facilitation and asynchronous release leading to a steady depolarizing conductance. The integration of non-calyceal and the calyx of Held input provides a mechanism for adjusting the temporal precision and faithfulness of output during prolonged high-frequency activity in a range relevant for auditory processing. Thus, non-calyceal inputs tune suprathreshold output generation in a functionally relevant manner, qualified to set the neuronal representation of sound sources in space.
