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 deep layers of medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) are considered a crucial station for spatial cognition and memory. The deep sublayer Va of MEC (MECVa) serves as the output stage of the entorhinal-hippocampal system and sends extensive projections to brain cortical areas. However, the functional heterogeneity of these efferent neurons in MECVa is poorly understood, due to the difficulty of performing single-neuron activity recording from the narrow band of cell population while the animals are behaving. In the current study, we combined multi-electrode electrophysiological recording and optical stimulation to record cortical-projecting MECVa neurons at single-neuron resolution in freely moving mice. First, injection of a viral Cre-LoxP system was used to express channelrhodopsin-2 specifically in MECVa neurons that project to the medial part of the secondary visual cortex (V2M-projecting MECVa neurons). Then, a lightweight, self-made optrode was implanted into MECVa to identify the V2M-projecting MECVa neurons and to enable single-neuron activity recordings in mice performing the open field test and 8-arm radial maze. Our results demonstrate that optrode approach is an accessible and reliable method for single-neuron recording of V2M-projecting MECVa neurons in freely moving mice, paving the way for future circuit studies designed to characterize the activity of MECVa neurons during specific tasks.
