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

Connectomes provide neuronal wiring diagrams and allow for investigating the detailed synaptic morphology of each connection. In the visual system of Drosophila, T5 cells are the primary motion-sensing neurons in the OFF-pathway and receive dendritic input from the excitatory Tm1, Tm2, Tm4, Tm9 and the inhibitory CT1 neurons. This connectivity, however, has not yet been investigated with respect to polyadic synapses known to be abundant in the fly nervous system. In this study, we use the FlyWire database and identify that Tm and CT1 cells wire on T5a dendrites via eight polyadic synapse types. We then explore the distribution of the different synapse types on T5a dendrites and find differences in their spatial patterns. Finally, we show that the polyadic morphology is setting a directional wiring architecture at the T5 network level. Our work showcases the directionality that polyadic synapses introduce in T5 connectivity.
