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

Despite its comparatively simple trilaminar architecture, the primary olfactory (piriform) cortex of mammals is capable of performing sophisticated sensory processing, an ability that is thought to depend critically on its extensive associational (intracortical) excitatory circuits. Here, we used a novel transgenic mouse model and optogenetics to measure the connectivity of associational circuits that originate in semilunar (SL) cells in layer 2a of the anterior piriform cortex (aPC). We generated a mouse line (48L) in which channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR) could be selectively expressed in a subset of SL cells. Light-evoked excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs) could be evoked in superficial pyramidal cells (17.4% of n = 86 neurons) and deep pyramidal cells (33.3%, n = 9) in the aPC, but never in ChR- SL cells (0%, n = 34). Thus, SL cells monosynaptically excite pyramidal cells, but not other SL cells. Light-evoked EPSCs were also selectively elicited in 3 classes of GABAergic interneurons in layer 3 of the aPC. Our results show that SL cells are specialized for providing feedforward excitation of specific classes of neurons in the aPC, confirming that SL cells comprise a functionally distinctive input layer.
