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 synRas transgenic mice express constitutively activated Valin12-Harvey Ras in postnatal neocortical pyramidal neurons. This leads to somatodendritic hypertrophy, higher densities of spines and synapses, and an enhancement of synaptic long-term potentiation associated with an increased glutamate receptor-mediated activity. It was less clear how the interneurons respond to these alterations, and this prompted the quantitative assessment of interneuron neurochemistry. Interneurons rarely expressed the transgene, however, several interneuron types displayed a transient somatic hypertrophy. Furthermore, NPY mRNA expression was persistently increased as were the laminar percentages of labeled neurons. The expression of parvalbumin and voltage-gated potassium channels Kv3.1b/3.2 was unchanged. A significant decline of GAD-67, but not GAD-65, mRNA expressing neurons was observed in layer VI in animals older than P60. This suggested that subtle deficits in inhibition and enhanced excitation evoke the interneuronal changes in the synRastransgenic mouse cortex.
