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

Fragmented network bursts (NBs) are observed as a phenotypic driver in many patient-derived neuronal networks on multi-electrode arrays (MEAs), but the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are unknown. Here, we used our previously developed biophysically detailed in silico model to investigate these mechanisms. Fragmentation of NBs in our model simulations occurred only when the level of short-term synaptic depression (STD) was enhanced, suggesting that STD is a key player. Experimental validation with Dynasore, an STD enhancer, induced fragmented NBs in healthy neuronal networks in vitro. Additionally, we showed that strong asynchronous neurotransmitter release, NMDA currents, or short-term facilitation (STF) can support the emergence of multiple fragments in NBs by producing excitation that persists after high-frequency firing stops. Our results provide important insights into disease mechanisms and potential pharmaceutical targets for neurological disorders modeled using human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived neurons.
