Hyperactive ACC-MDT Pathway Suppresses Prepulse Inhibition in Mice.
Article in Schizophrenia bulletin, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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.
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
Altered prepulse inhibition (PPI) is an endophenotype associated with multiple brain disorders, including schizophrenia. Circuit mechanisms that regulate PPI have been suggested, but none has been demonstrated through direct manipulations. IRSp53 is an abundant excitatory postsynaptic scaffold implicated in schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorders, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. We found that mice lacking IRSp53 in cortical excitatory neurons display decreased PPI. IRSp53-mutant layer 6 cortical neurons in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) displayed decreased excitatory synaptic input but markedly increased neuronal excitability, which was associated with excessive excitatory synaptic input in downstream mediodorsal thalamic (MDT) neurons. Importantly, chemogenetic inhibition of mutant neurons projecting to MDT normalized the decreased PPI and increased excitatory synaptic input onto MDT neurons. In addition, chemogenetic activation of MDT-projecting layer 6 neurons in the ACC decreased PPI in wild-type mice. These results suggest that the hyperactive ACC-MDT pathway suppresses PPI in wild-type and IRSp53-mutant mice.
