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

The hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG) segregates input patterns aided by inhibitory circuits. Despite their importance, few studies have recorded identified DG interneurons in behaving animals. Here, we used electrophysiological recordings, bidirectional optogenetic manipulations, and modeling to characterize parvalbumin (PV)- and somatostatin (SST)-expressing interneurons in freely behaving mice. We employed machine learning to classify granule cells (GCs), mossy cells (MCs), and PV and SST interneurons simultaneously and studied their synaptic interactions in shaping spatial information and responses to entorhinal synaptic inputs. We demonstrated a central role for SST interneurons in regulating the impact of entorhinal excitation and for PV interneurons in feedback inhibition. Finally, optogenetic manipulations revealed a paradoxical observation: instead of merely suppressing firing in the surrounding network, DG interneuron stimulation exacerbated "winner-take-all" dynamics, including paradoxical polysynaptic excitation of some excitatory neurons. Such use-dependent modulation of winner-take-all dynamics may support the selection of content-bearing neuronal ensembles during cognitive processes.
