Activity-Induced MeCP2 Phosphorylation Regulates Retinogeniculate Synapse Refinement.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Mutations in SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Rett syndrome (RTT) is an X-linked neurodevelopmental disorder that predominantly affects girls. RTT is caused by loss of function mutations in a single gene MeCP2. Girls with RTT develop normally during their first year of life, but then experience neurological abnormalities including breathing and movement difficulties, loss of speech, and seizures. This study investigates the function of the MeCP2 protein in the brain, and how MeCP2 activity is modulated by sensory experience in early life. Evidence is presented that sensory experience affects MeCP2 function, and that this is required for synaptic pruning in the brain. These findings provide insight into MeCP2 function, and clues as to what goes awry in the brain when the function of MeCP2 is disrupted.
