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

Neuronal remodeling is essential for the precise formation of mature nervous systems. Drosophila serves to study neuronal remodeling; however, existing experimental systems are insufficient for examining circuit-level neuronal remodeling and its effect on behavior. We present a new model system to investigate neuronal remodeling. We show that the Moonwalker SEZ neuron, which elicits backward walking in adult flies, is part of a conserved circuit persisting from larva to adult. Utilizing the system, we examine developmental neuronal remodeling, describe a gene-regulatory mechanism controlling outgrowth, and uncover a causal relation between remodeling and behavior. The well-characterized connectivity of the circuit, low number of elements, direct control of the motor output, and availability of specific driver lines, provide an appealing system to study developmental remodeling of neuronal circuits and their impact on behavior. Hence, we establish a new model system in Drosophila to investigate neural circuit remodeling and its relation to behavior.
