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

New experiences are integrated with existing knowledge to update memory, which is essential for survival in a dynamic environment. Despite this updating, the brain can still access previous memories to guide appropriate behavior. How the brain organizes the retrieval of old and new memories remains unknown. Here we demonstrate a flexible memory switching mechanism in male mice, mediated by medial septum (MS) GABAergic neurons projecting to the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC). This neuronal subset was specifically recruited during retrieval after updating, and inactivation of their projections to the MEC reversed the updated behaviors-indicating a behavioral switch to previous memories-and induced a switch in CA1 population activity patterns back to the pre-update pattern. After updating, the duration of the 'online' state correlated with memory performance. Together, these findings reveal a neural switch mechanism mediated by the septo-entorhinal GABAergic pathway that organizes memory retrieval to enable updating.
