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

Synchronous firing of neurons, often referred to as "network activity" or "network bursting," is an indication of a mature and synaptically connected network of neurons. We previously reported this phenomenon in 2D human neuronal in vitro models (McSweeney et al. iScience 25:105187, 2022). Using induced neurons (iNs) differentiated from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) coupled with high-density microelectrodes arrays (HD-MEAs), we probed the underlying patterns of neuronal activity and found irregularities in network signaling across mutant states (McSweeney et al. iScience 25:105187, 2022). Here, we describe methods for plating cortical excitatory iNs differentiated from hPSCs on top of HD-MEAs and culturing iNs to maturity, examples of representative human wild-type Ngn2-iN data, and troubleshooting tips and tricks for the experimenter interested in integrating HD-MEAs into one's research approach.
