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

Neurotrophic factors participate in both developmental and adult synaptic plasticity; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. Using soma-soma synapses between the identified Lymnaea neurons, we demonstrate that the brain conditioned medium (CM)-derived trophic factors are required for the formation of excitatory but not the inhibitory synapse. Specifically, identified presynaptic [right pedal dorsal 1 (RPeD1) and visceral dorsal 4 (VD4)] and postsynaptic [visceral dorsal 2/3 (VD2/3) and left pedal dorsal 1 (LPeD1)] neurons were soma-soma paired either in the absence or presence of CM. We show that in defined medium (DM-does not contain extrinsic trophic factors), appropriate excitatory synapses failed to develop between RPeD1 and VD2/3. Instead, inappropriate inhibitory synapses formed between VD2/3 and RPeD1. Similarly, mutual inhibitory synapses developed between VD4 and LPeD1 in DM. These inhibitory synapses were termed novel because they do not exist in the intact brain. To test whether DM-induced, inappropriate inhibitory synapses could be corrected by the addition of CM, cells were first paired in DM for an initial period of 12 hr. DM was then replaced with CM, and simultaneous intracellular recordings were made from paired cells after 6-12 hr of CM substitution. Not only did CM induce the formation of appropriate excitatory synapses between both cell pairs, but it also reduced the incidence of inappropriate inhibitory synapse formation. The CM-induced plasticity of synaptic connections involved new protein synthesis and transcription and was mediated via receptor tyrosine kinases. Taken together, our data provide the first direct insight into the cellular mechanism underlying trophic factor-induced specificity and plasticity of synaptic connections between soma-soma paired Lymnaea neurons.
