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

Pyramidal neurons in the medial prefrontal cortical layer 2/3 are an essential contributor to the cellular basis of working memory; thus, changes in their intrinsic excitability critically affect medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) functional properties. Transient Receptor Potential Melastatin 4 (TRPM4), a calcium-activated nonselective cation channel (CAN), regulates the membrane potential in a calcium-dependent manner. In this study, we uncovered the role of TRPM4 in regulating the intrinsic excitability plasticity of pyramidal neurons in the mouse mPFC layer of 2/3 using a combination of conventional and nystatin perforated whole-cell recordings. Interestingly, we found that TRPM4 is open at resting membrane potential, and its inhibition increases input resistance and hyperpolarizes membrane potential. After high-frequency stimulation, pyramidal neurons increase a calcium-activated non-selective cation current, increase the action potential firing, and the amplitude of the afterdepolarization, these effects depend on intracellular calcium. Furthermore, pharmacological inhibition or genetic silencing of TRPM4 reduces the firing rate and the afterdepolarization after high frequency stimulation. Together, these results show that TRPM4 plays a significant role in the excitability of mPFC layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons by modulating neuronal excitability in a calcium-dependent manner.
