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

Studying synaptic transmission is facilitated in experimental systems that isolate individual neuronal connections. We developed an integrated platform combining polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microstructures with high-density microelectrode arrays to isolate, record, and manipulate neuronal pairs from human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived neurons. The system maintained hundreds of parallel neuronal pairs for over 100 days, demonstrating functional synapses through pharmacological validation. We coupled this platform with a biophysical Hodgkin-Huxley model and simulation-based inference to extract mechanistic parameters from the electrophysiological data. As a proof-of-concept application, we analyzed shifts in model parameter distributions following a stimulation protocol. The biophysical model revealed α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid (AMPA) and N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor-specific alterations after stimulation, providing quantitative insights into synaptic plasticity mechanisms. This integrated approach combines isolated hiPSC-derived synaptic pairs, stable parallel long-term recordings, and mechanistic modeling to enable systematic studies of human synaptic transmission.
