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

In response to an operant conditioning task, rats can gradually increase or decrease soleus H-reflex amplitude without change in background electromyographic activity or M response amplitude. Both increase (under the HRup mode) and decrease (under the HRdown mode) develop over weeks. The present study investigated reversal of conditioned H-reflex change. Following collection of control data, rats were exposed to one mode (HRup or HRdown) for 50 days, and then exposed to the opposite mode for up to 72 days. Rats responded to each mode exposure with gradual, mode-appropriate change in H-reflex amplitude. This finding is consistent with other evidence that H-reflex conditioning depends on spinal cord plasticity. The effects of exposure to the HRup (or HRdown) mode were not affected by whether exposure followed previous exposure to the HRdown (or HRup) mode. In accord with recent studies suggesting that HRup and HRdown conditioning have different spinal mechanisms, these results suggest that reversal of H-reflex change is due primarily to the superimposition of additional plasticity rather than to decay of the plasticity responsible for the initial change.
