Abnormal local cortical functional connectivity due to interneuron dysmaturation after neonatal intermittent hypoxia.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2024. 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
Background: Premature infants often experience frequent hypoxic episodes due to immaturity of respiratory control that may result in disturbances of gray and white matter development and long-term cognitive and behavioral abnormalities. We hypothesize that neonatal intermittent hypoxia alters cortical maturation of excitatory and inhibitory circuits that can be detected early with functional MRI. Methods: C57BL/6 mouse pups were exposed to an intermittent hypoxia (IH) regimen consisting of 12 to 20 daily hypoxic episodes of 5% oxygen exposure for 2 min at 37C from P3 to P7, followed by MRI at P12 and electrophysiological recordings in cortical slices and in vivo at several time points between P7 and P13. Behavioral tests were conducted at P41-P50 to assess animal activity and motor learning. Results: Adult mice after neonatal IH exhibited hyperactivity in open field test and impaired motor learning in complex wheel tasks. Patch clamp and evoked field potential electrophysiology revealed increased glutamatergic transmission accompanied by elevation of tonic inhibition. A decreased synaptic inhibitory drive was evidenced by miniature IPSC frequency on pyramidal cells, multi-unit activity recording in vivo in the motor cortex with selective GABA Conclusions: Increased excitatory glutamatergic transmission, decreased numbers, and activity of inhibitory interneurons after neonatal IH may affect the maturation of connectivity in cortical networks, resulting in long-term cognitive and behavioral changes, including impaired motor learning and hyperactivity. Functional MRI reveals increased intrinsic connectivity in the sensorimotor cortex, suggesting neuronal dysfunction in cortical maturation after neonatal IH. The increased tonic inhibition, presumably due to tonic extrasynaptic GABA receptor drive, may be compensatory to the elevated excitatory glutamatergic transmission.
