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 time course of changes in functional cortical activity during early development has been extensively studied in the rodent visual system. A key period in this process is the time of eye opening, which marks the onset of patterned visual input and active vision. However, vision differs from other systems in that it receives limited patterned sensory input before eye opening, and it remains unclear how findings from vision relate to other systems. Here, we focus on the development of cortical network activity in the olfactory system-which is crucial for survival at birth-by recording field potential and spiking activity from piriform cortex of unanesthetized rat pups from birth (P0) to P21. Our results demonstrate that odors evoke stable 10-15 Hz oscillations in piriform cortex from birth to P15, after which cortical responses undergo rapid changes. This transition is coincident with the emergence of gamma oscillations and fast sniffing behavior and preceded by an increase in spontaneous activity. Neonatal network oscillations and their developmental dynamics exhibit striking similarities with those previously observed in the visual, auditory, and somatosensory systems, providing insight into the network-level mechanisms underlying the development of sensory cortex in general and olfactory processing in particular.
