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

Functional neural circuit formation during postnatal development involves massive elimination of early-formed redundant synapses and strengthening of necessary synaptic connections. In the cerebellum, one-to-one connection from a climbing fibre (CF) to a Purkinje cell (PC) is established through four distinct phases: (1) strengthening of a single CF among multiple CFs in each PC at postnatal age P3-P7 days, (2) translocation of a single strengthened CF to PC dendrites from around P9, (3) early-phase (P7 to around P11) and (4) late-phase (around P12-P17) elimination of weak CF synapses from PC somata. Mice with PC-selective deletion of the P/Q-type voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channel (VDCC) exhibit severe defects in strengthening of single CFs, dendritic translocation of single CFs and CF elimination from P7. In contrast, mice with a mutation of a single allele for the GABA synthesizing enzyme GAD67 show selective impairment of CF elimination from P10. Electrophysiological and Ca(2+) imaging data suggest that GABAA receptor-mediated inhibition onto PC somata from putative basket cells influences CF-induced Ca(2+) transients and regulates elimination of redundant CF synapses from PC somata at P10-P16. Thus, regulation of Ca(2+) influx to PCs through VDCCs is crucial for the four phases of CF synapse elimination during postnatal development.
