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

Central or peripheral injury causes reorganization of the brain's connections and functions. A striking change observed after unilateral stroke or amputation is a recruitment of bilateral cortical responses to sensation or movement of the unaffected peripheral area. The mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are described in a mouse model of unilateral whisker deprivation. Stimulation of intact whiskers yields a bilateral blood-oxygen-level-dependent fMRI response in somatosensory barrel cortex. Whole-cell electrophysiology demonstrated that the intact barrel cortex selectively strengthens callosal synapses to layer 5 neurons in the deprived cortex. These synapses have larger AMPA receptor- and NMDA receptor-mediated events. These factors contribute to a maximally potentiated callosal synapse. This potentiation occludes long-term potentiation, which could be rescued, to some extent, with prior long-term depression induction. Excitability and excitation/inhibition balance were altered in a manner consistent with cell-specific callosal changes and support a shift in the overall state of the cortex. This is a demonstration of a cell-specific, synaptic mechanism underlying interhemispheric cortical reorganization.
