Neuronal activity-dependent gene expression is stimulus-specific and changes with neuronal maturation.

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
Introduction: Neuronal activity-dependent gene expression is fundamental to a wide variety of brain functions. The field of neuronal activity-induced gene expression has advanced greatly due to studies performed in early neuronal cultures (7 to 10 DIV) and stimulated with different activation protocols. However, the effect of the developmental stage as well as the influence of specific protocol stimuli like potassium chloride (KCl)-induced depolarization, bicuculline (Bic)-mediated synaptic activation and TTX-withdrawal (TTXw) on activity-induced transcription has not been systematically studied. Methods: To analyze the influence of neuronal maturation on activity-induced transcription, we used neuronal primary cultures to compare electrophysiological and transcriptional responses at 7 days Results: Our results demonstrate that the developmental stage of neurons profoundly influences neuronal firing and gene expression. The response to KCl and Bicuculline was dramatically different, even though these compound-based activation protocols have been widely used and considered as methods that produce equivalent effects. Therefore, we next asked how 21DIV neurons, more advanced in their development, react to different stimuli and observed that KCl, Bic and TTXw, which trigger different firing patterns, induce specific transcriptional profiles with unique temporal dynamics and activating a variety of gene groups. Conclusion: These findings hold both technical and conceptual significance. Technically, they underscore the importance of accounting for neuronal maturation and activation protocols when studying gene expression. Conceptually, they demonstrate that neuronal development and drug-induced firing patterns generate distinct expression profiles, which could be crucial for a deeper understanding of transcription-dependent plasticity mechanisms.
