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 brain has a remarkable ability to adapt its function in response to both environmental and internal cues. The cellular composition of the brain is largely static after birth; thus, persistent experience-dependent changes in brain function depend on altered programs of gene expression that result in the plasticity of circuit connectivity and network function. High-throughput sequencing studies have comprehensively cataloged stimulus-dependent programs of gene expression in the brain. The current challenge is to integrate this information in the context of specific cells and circuits to understand the mechanisms by which transcriptional regulation coordinates adaptive plasticity of the brain and behavior. Here, I review molecular genetics studies that reveal how neuronal activity-regulated gene products orchestrate intricate cellular and intercellular adaptations in response to changes in patterns of brain activity. I also discuss examples of genetic mutations that impair experience-dependent transcriptional plasticity in the context of neurodevelopmental disorders.
