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

Hippocampal abnormalities are frequently associated with neurodevelopmental disorders as interneurons are crucial in establishing the network connectivity of neurons. This systematic review analyzed primary literature with a focus on aberrant hippocampal interneuron migration as an etiology for neurodevelopmental disorders, summarizing the current field and identifying gaps that require further understanding. We adhered to the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines to perform a comprehensive review of the existing research on GABAergic, parvalbumin, somatostatin, cholecystokinin, neuropeptide Y, calbindin, and calretinin interneuron migration in the hippocampus. Three blocks of search terms were used to extract 1459 papers from the PubMed, PsycINFO, and Web of Science databases. Following screening, we identified 29 articles which met the inclusion/exclusion criteria for the study. There is evidence that interneurons are affected in many neurodevelopmental conditions, with distinct regional and subtype-specific differences. This systematic review has determined that there is a clear association between deficits in interneuron migration to the hippocampus and the presentation of neurodevelopmental disorders. The review highlights a significant lack of sex differences considered in the field, as well as a paucity of data for many specific neurodevelopmental conditions.
