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

Parvalbumin-expressing inhibitory neurons (PV-INs) are critical for the balance and fine-tuning of complex neuronal circuits. Studies of PV-IN biology require tools for their specific labeling, targeting and manipulation. Among these, the Cre/LoxP system is the most popular in mice, with the two commonly used PV-Cre lines cited over 5600 times. Here we report in the mouse cerebellar cortex that PV-Cre activity is not restricted to inhibitory neurons. Imaging of Cre-activated reporters demonstrated recombination in excitatory granule cells. We present evidence that PV-Cre recombination is: (1) spatially regulated and lobule specific; (2) detected in granule cells in the external and internal granule cell layers arising from strong, but transient Pvalb expression in progenitors between E13-E15; and (3) delayed in a subset of inhibitory interneurons, asynchronous with PV protein expression. Together, our findings establish the spatio-temporal patterns PV-Cre activation in the mouse cerebellum, raising considerations for conditional targeting of Pvalb-expressing inhibitory populations.
