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

The olfactory bulb (OB) is the first relay station in the olfactory system and functions as a crucial hub. It can represent odor information precisely and accurately in an ever-changing environment. As the only output neurons in the OB, mitral/tufted cells encode information such as odor identity and concentration. Recently, the neural strategies and mechanisms underlying odor representation and encoding in the OB have been investigated extensively. Here we review the main progress on this topic. We first review the neurons and circuits involved in odor representation, including the different cell types in the OB and the neural circuits within and beyond the OB. We will then discuss how two different coding strategies-spatial coding and temporal coding-work in the rodent OB. Finally, we discuss potential future directions for this research topic. Overall, this review provides a comprehensive description of our current understanding of how odor information is represented and encoded by mitral/tufted cells in the OB.
