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

Distinct neocortical regions subserve different sensory functions, yet the cellular features that distinguish neurons across cortical areas remain poorly understood. Layer (L)2/3 pyramidal neurons (PyNs) are generated at similar developmental times throughout the cortex, but whether their morphological and functional properties are shaped by areal identity programs is unclear. Here, we compared L2/3 PyNs in mouse primary somatosensory (S1) and primary visual (V1) cortices (both male and female). We observed pronounced areal differences where V1 neurons exhibited smaller and less complex dendritic arbors and displayed increased intrinsic excitability relative to their counterparts in S1. These differences were present in both juvenile and adult stages, indicating that they emerge early and persist over time. Given prior evidence implicating the transcription factor LHX2 in dendritic arborization, we tested its contribution to these differences. Loss of
