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 establishment of neuronal circuitry during development relies upon the action of cell-intrinsic mechanisms that specify neuronal form as well as plastic processes that require the transmission of neural activity between afferents and their targets. Here, we examine the role of interactions between neighboring like-type cells within the mouse retina upon neuronal differentiation and circuit formation. Two different genetically modified mouse models were used to modulate the density of homotypic neighbors, the Type 7 cone bipolar cells, without affecting the density of their afferents, the cone photoreceptors. We demonstrate a corresponding plasticity in dendritic field area when the density of Type 7 cone bipolar cells is elevated or reduced. In accord with this variation in dendritic field area across an invariant population of afferents, individual Type 7 cone bipolar cells are also shown to modulate the number of cone pedicles contacted without varying the number of contacts at each cone pedicle. Analysis of developing Type 7 cone bipolar cells reveals that the dendritic tiling present in maturity is achieved secondarily, after an initial stage of dendritic overlap, when the dendritic terminals are stratified at the level of the cone pedicles but are not localized to them. These results demonstrate a conspicuous developmental plasticity in neural circuit formation independent of neural activity, requiring homotypic interactions between neighboring cells that ultimately regulate connectivity within the retina.
