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 prefrontal cortex is considered as the site of multifaceted higher-order cognitive abilities. These abilities emerge late in life long after full sensorimotor maturation, in line with the protracted development of prefrontal circuits that has been identified on molecular, structural, and functional levels. Only recently, as a result of the impressive methodological progress of the last several decades, the mechanisms and clinical implications of prefrontal development have begun to be elucidated, yet major knowledge gaps still persist. Here, we provide an overview on how prefrontal circuits develop to enable multifaceted cognitive processing at adulthood. First, we review recent insights into the mechanisms of prefrontal circuit assembly, with a focus on the contribution of early electrical activity. Second, we highlight the major reorganization of prefrontal circuits during adolescence. Finally, we link the prefrontal plasticity during specific developmental time windows to mental health disorders and discuss potential approaches for therapeutic interventions.
