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 ventral pallidum (VP) integrates reward signals to regulate cognitive, emotional, and motor processes associated with motivational salience. Previous studies have revealed that the VP projects axons to many cortical and subcortical structures. However, descriptions of the neuronal morphologies and projection patterns of the VP neurons at the single neuron level are lacking, thus hindering the understanding of the wiring diagram of the VP. In this study, we used recently developed progress in robust sparse labeling and fluorescence micro-optical sectioning tomography imaging system (fMOST) to label mediodorsal thalamus-projecting neurons in the VP and obtain high-resolution whole-brain imaging data. Based on these data, we reconstructed VP neurons and classified them into three types according to their fiber projection patterns. We systematically compared the axonal density in various downstream centers and analyzed the soma distribution and dendritic morphologies of the various subtypes at the single neuron level. Our study thus provides a detailed characterization of the morphological features of VP neurons, laying a foundation for exploring the neural circuit organization underlying the important behavioral functions of VP.
