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

Both mature BDNF and its precursor, proBDNF, play a crucial role in shaping neurons and contributing to the structural basis for neuronal connectivity. They do so in a largely opposing manner, and through differential engagement with their receptors. In this review, we will summarise the evidence that BDNF modulates neural circuit formation in vivo both within the central and peripheral nervous systems, through the control of neuronal morphology. The underlying intracellular mechanisms that translate BDNF signalling into changes of neuronal cell shape will be described. In addition, the signalling pathways that act either locally at the site of BDNF action, or over long distances to influence gene transcription will be discussed. These mechanisms begin to explain the diversity of actions that BDNF carries out on neuronal morphology. This article is part of the Special Issue entitled 'BDNF Regulation of Synaptic Structure, Function, and Plasticity'.
