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

Eye-opening is a critical point for laminar maturation of pyramidal neurons (PNs) in primary visual cortex. Knowing both the intrinsic properties and morphology of PNs from the visual cortex during development is crucial to contextualize the integration of visual inputs at different age stages. Few studies have reported changes in intrinsic excitability in these neurons but were restricted to only one layer or one stage of cortical development. Here, we used in vitro whole-cell patch-clamp to investigate the developmental impact on electrophysiological properties of layer 2/3 and layer 5 PNs in mouse visual cortex. Additionally, we evaluated the morphological changes before and after eye-opening and compared these in adult mice. Overall, we found a decrease in intrinsic excitability in both layers after eye-opening which remained stable between juvenile and adult mice. The basal dendritic length increased in layer 5 neurons, whereas spine density increased in layer 2/3 neurons after eye-opening. These data show increased number of synapses after onset of sensory input paralleled with a reduced excitability, presumably as homeostatic mechanism. Altogether, we provide a database of the properties of PNs in mouse visual cortex by considering the layer- and time-specific changes of these neurons during sensory development.
