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

Parvalbumin (PV)-containing cortical GABA neurons include chandelier cells (PVChCs) and basket cells (PVBCs), which innervate the axon initial segment (AIS) and soma/proximal dendrites of pyramidal cells, respectively. In monkey prefrontal cortex (PFC), the density of PVChC axon cartridges detectable by PV immunoreactivity peaks prior to the onset of puberty before declining markedly to adult levels, whereas the density of PV-immunoreactive (IR) puncta (presumed PVBC boutons) increases during adolescence. These inverse developmental changes in bouton density could explain why an electron microscopy study found no change in the density of symmetric, presumably GABAergic, synapses between infancy and adulthood in monkey PFC. Alternatively, the inverse developmental trajectories of PVChC and PVBC boutons could represent cell type-specific differences in the maturation of PV protein levels. To differentiate between these two alternatives, multilabel confocal microscopy was used to quantify the number of PVChC and PVBC boutons per pyramidal neuron in the PFC of 3-month-old and adult monkeys. The mean number of PVChC boutons per pyramidal neuron AIS was, significantly, 32% lower in adult compared with 3-month-old monkeys, whereas the density of PVBC boutons per pyramidal neuron did not differ between age groups. In contrast, relative levels of PV protein were approximately twofold higher in PVBC boutons in adult animals, whereas PV levels in PVChC boutons did not differ between age groups. These findings suggest cell type-specific mechanisms of maturation of PV-containing GABAergic boutons in monkey PFC.
