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

Serotonin (5-HT) plays an important role in shaping brain network dynamics by regulating excitatory synaptic function and neuronal excitability. However, much less is known about how 5-HT tunes synaptic inhibition. Here, we demonstrate that transient 5-HT signaling persistently suppresses GABAergic synapses onto layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). Moreover, we found that 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptors differentially contribute to 5-HT regulation of synaptic inhibition, possibly by acting at distinct GABAergic cell subpopulations. Importantly, 5-HT2A receptor activation triggers retrograde endocannabinoid signaling to reduce GABA release selectively at synapses formed by somatostatin (SST+)- but not parvalbumin (PV+)-positive GABAergic interneurons. Altogether, our results highlight the diverse molecular and cell-type-specific mechanisms by which 5-HT signaling modulates inhibitory circuits to shape cortical function.
