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

Waves of spontaneous electrical activity propagate across many regions of the central nervous system during specific stages of early development. The patterns of wave propagation are critical in the activation of many activity-dependent developmental programs. It is not known how the mechanisms that initiate and propagate spontaneous waves operate during periods in which major changes in neuronal structure and function are taking place. We have recently reported that spontaneous waves of activity propagate across the neonatal mouse cerebral cortex and that these waves are initiated at pacemaker sites in the septal nucleus and ventral cortex. Here we show that spontaneous waves occur between embryonic day 18 (E18) and postnatal day 12 (P12), and that during that period they undergo major changes in transmitter dependence and propagation patterns. At early stages, spontaneous waves are largely GABA dependent and are mostly confined to the septum and ventral cortex. As development proceeds, wave initiation depends increasingly on AMPA-type glutamate receptors, and an ever increasing fraction of waves propagate into the dorsal cortex. The initiation sites and restricted propagation of waves at early stages are highly correlated with the position of GABAergic neurons in the cortex. The later switch to a glutamate-based mechanism allows propagation of waves into the dorsal cortex, and appears to be a compensatory mechanism that ensures continued wave generation even as GABA transmission becomes inhibitory.
