Comparative Electrophysiological Analysis of Trigeminal and Dorsal Root Ganglion Neurons in Mice.
Article in eNeuro, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Cultured dissociated trigeminal ganglion (TG) and dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons are widely used to study peripheral sensory function, yet direct electrophysiological comparisons under identical experimental conditions remain limited. We compared intrinsic electrophysiological properties of mouse TG (mTG) and mouse DRG (mDRG) neurons using whole-cell patch-clamp electrophysiology from male mice. In addition to conventional comparisons of membrane properties, action potential waveform characteristics, and firing behavior, neurons were stratified by soma size and analyzed using principal component analysis (PCA) and Pearson's correlation analyses to determine ganglia-specific electrophysiological signatures. mTG neurons exhibited enhanced stimulus-evoked excitability compared with mDRG neurons, characterized by shorter first spike latency, increased repetitive firing, and greater action potential output despite similar resting membrane potential, rheobase, and input resistance. These differences were primarily driven by small-diameter neurons, which displayed increased rebound and repetitive firing, whereas differences in spontaneous activity were predominantly observed in large-diameter neurons. PCA revealed distinct clustering of TG and DRG neurons based on electrophysiological properties, while Pearson's correlation analyses demonstrated tissue-specific relationships among electrophysiological parameters, particularly involving afterhyperpolarization, indicating that coordinated regulation of excitability differs between sensory ganglia. These findings demonstrate that TG and DRG neurons differ not only in individual electrophysiological properties but also in the coordinated organization of those properties. Together, these data provide a functional framework for understanding ganglion-specific regulation of peripheral sensory neuron excitability and establish a foundation for future mechanistic studies and the development of targeted therapies for peripheral pain disorders.
