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

Synapses are the connections that transform neurons from simple electrically charged cells into complex circuits that support perception, cognition and action. Recent advances in single-punctum synapse mapping in mice make studying synapse diversity and differential expression possible. How do diverse synapses relate to the spatial patterning of whole-brain dynamics? Here we map the spatial distribution of multiple synapse types to >6 000 time-series features from fMRI recordings in awake mice to understand the comprehensive dynamical phenotype of multiple synapse types. We find that specific synapse types are associated with specific features of haemodynamics, including high-amplitude events and signal stationarity. These variations in synapse types and dynamics are associated with the structural and functional network embedding of brain regions. Finally, using two additional fMRI datasets in anaesthetized mice, we show that synaptic protein lifetime reflects differential synaptic engagement across behavioural states. Collectively, this work suggests that the spatial organization of microscale synapse types may shape whole-brain dynamics.
