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 medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) plays a critical role in recalling recent and remote fearful memories. Modern neuroscience techniques, such as projection-specific circuit manipulation and activity-dependent labeling, have illuminated how mPFC memory ensembles are reorganized over time. This chapter discusses the implications of new findings for traditional theories of memory, such as the systems consolidation theory and theories of memory engrams. It also examines the specific contributions of mPFC subregions, like the prelimbic and infralimbic cortices, in fear memory, highlighting how their distinct connections influence memory recall. Further, it elaborates on the cellular and molecular changes within the mPFC that support memory persistence and how these are influenced by interactions with the hippocampus. Ultimately, this chapter provides insights into how lasting memories are dynamically encoded in prefrontal circuits, arguing for a key role of memory ensembles that extend beyond strict definitions of the engram.
