Early life stress facilitates synapse premature unsilencing to enhance AMPA receptor function in the developing hippocampus.
Article in Journal of neurophysiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Chronic early life stress (ELS) increases vulnerability to psychopathologies and cognitive deficits in adulthood by disrupting the function of related neural circuits. However, whether this disruption emerges early in the developing brain remains largely unexplored. In the current study, using an established limited-bedding and nesting model of ELS in postnatal day (P)2-10 mice, we provide direct evidence that ELS caused early modification of hippocampal glutamatergic synapses in the developing brain. We demonstrated that ELS induced rapid enhancement of AMPA receptor function in hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons through a postsynaptic mechanism, and importantly, this was associated with premature unsilencing of NMDA receptor-only silent hippocampal synapses. These results suggest that potentiation of AMPAR function may represent an early mediator of ELS-induced alterations of neural networks in the developing brain and may potentially contribute to subsequent cognitive impairments later in life.
