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 striatum is predominantly composed of medium spiny neurons (MSNs) that send their axons along two parallel pathways known as the direct and indirect pathways. MSNs from the direct pathway express high levels of D1 dopamine receptors, while MSNs from the indirect pathway express high levels of D2 dopamine receptors. There has been much debate over the extent of colocalization of these two major dopamine receptors in MSNs of adult animals. In addition, the ontogeny of the segregation process has never been investigated. In this paper, we crossed bacterial artificial chromosome drd1a-tdTomato and drd2-GFP reporter transgenic mice to characterize these models and estimate D1-D2 co-expression in the developing striatum as well as in striatal primary cultures. We show that segregation is already extensive at E18 and that the degree of co-expression further decreases at P0 and P14. Finally, we also demonstrate that cultured MSNs maintain their very high degree of D1-D2 reporter protein segregation, thus validating them as a relevant in vitro model.
