Tracing of specific neural pathways in the rat brain using lentiviral vectors for retrograde gene transfer.
Article in Anatomical science international, 2025. 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
Understanding the structural and the functional organization of neural circuits in the brain is a fundamental goal of neuroscience. Lentiviral vectors for retrograde gene transfer transduce neurons through the entry from synaptic terminals and enable tracing and manipulation of neuronal populations of interests based on the synaptic connections. The highly efficient and neuron-specific retrograde gene transfer (NeuRet) vectors are derived from the pseudotyping of human immunodeficiency virus type 1-based vectors with fusion envelope glycoproteins. Viral RNA genome is reverse-transcribed and synthesized DNA is integrated into the host genomes, allowing stable and long-term expression of transgenes. Dorsal striatum, the input layer of the basal ganglia, integrates signals from various brain regions, including cerebral cortex, thalamus, and ventral midbrain, and plays a critical role in motor control, learning, and decision-making. Consequently, understanding the input and the output connectivity of the dorsal striatum is fundamental to revealing how circuits within the basal ganglia contribute to physiological and behavioral functions, and its impairments are related to neurological disorders. This paper outlines the procedures for injecting a NeuRet vector carrying a green fluorescent protein gene into the sub-regions of dorsal striatum in rats, followed by immunohistochemistry to detect the transgene expression in the brain.
