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

Cerebral cortex and cerebellum are essential for sensorimotor control, but the dynamics of their interactions remain unclear. Here, we investigated which pathways prevail during preparation and execution of spontaneous whisker movements in mice. During preparation, neuronal activity of primary motor (M1) and somatosensory (S1) cortex precede that of cerebellar crus regions, with a lead that is consistent with relaying a copy of motor commands. After movement onset, the phase of the signal inverts, indicating a dominant vector signaling from cerebellum to cerebrum. At this stage, Purkinje cell activity correlates more with S1 than M1, generating a prediction of sensory consequences during motor actions. A computational cerebello-cortical model could replicate the changes in dynamics and directionality. Optogenetic manipulations of pons and thalamus confirm the modeled predictions on stage-dependent dynamics. Together our data point towards a swap in direction of information flow between cerebrum and cerebellum when motor preparation switches to execution.
