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 activity of the telencephalon is shaped by pallial and subpallial GABAergic neurons, two large populations produced in the embryonic ganglionic eminence. However, knowledge about the fate specification of neuron subtypes is limited, especially whether there is a common mechanism directing the fate choice of pallial versus subpallial populations remains unknown, largely because each population comprises numerous subtypes. Here, using sc-RNA sequencing combined with loss-of-function we profile ganglion eminence lineages and find that Foxg1 deletion causes the pallial population to adopt subpallial fates in mice. We delineate developmental trajectories and reveal FOXG1-driven transcriptional programs that specify neuron subtypes in each GE lineage and transcription factors that direct lineage bifurcation decisions. We uncover a common mechanism that drives pallial fate over subpallial fate across ganglion eminence lineages. Our study illuminates the control of production between pallial and subpallial populations and offers transcriptomic insights into the pathogenesis of GABAergic neuron-related disorders.
