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

Variations in intrinsic neural timescales across the mammalian forebrain reflect the anatomical structure and functional specialization of brain areas and individual neurons. Yet, the organization of timescales beyond the forebrain remains unexplored. We analyzed intrinsic timescales of single neurons across the entire mouse brain. Median timescales were up to fivefold longer in the midbrain and hindbrain than in the forebrain. Spatial patterns of gene expression predicted timescale variation at a resolution finer than brain-area boundaries. Across neurons, the diversity of timescales revealed a multiscale architecture, in which fast timescales determined regional differences in medians, while slow timescales universally followed a power-law distribution with an exponent near 2, indicating a shared dynamical regime across the brain consistent with the edge of instability or chaos. These organizing principles for the dynamics of single neurons across the brain provide a foundation for linking cellular activity with regional specialization and brain-wide computation.
