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

Sexual differences are prevalent in the brain. DMRT transcription factors have been postulated as important determinants of sex differences. Previous research focused on the DMA subfamily in the brain. Here, we reveal an unprecedented role for Dmrt2 in regulating the proliferation and development of cortical neurons in mice. Dmrt2 is expressed in deep-layer neurons of the cingulate cortex (CgCx) throughout development. Its downregulation in the CgCx primordium results in premature cell cycle exit of embryonic progenitors and subsequent reduction in cortical plate cellular density at later developmental stages. Dmrt2 expression is higher in male embryos during early development, potentially explaining their increased vulnerability to Dmrt2 depletion. As development progresses, Dmrt2 expression persists in deep-layer neurons, controlling processes like migration, axonal targeting, and neuronal-specific gene expression. This study broadens our understanding of Dmrt2 gene function in the brain and provides insights into the molecular basis of sexual differences in neurodevelopmental processes.
