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

Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) signaling plays a critical role in brain function and declines significantly with aging. However, how these changes occur across different brain regions and cell types, and how they contribute to behavioral dysfunction, remains poorly understood. The prefrontal cortex (PFC), a key regulator of cognitive, emotional, and social behaviors, is particularly vulnerable to age-related changes. Here, we investigated age-associated changes in IGF1 and its receptor (IGF1R) in major neuronal populations of the PFC and examined their functional relevance. Using immunohistochemical analysis across young adult, middle-aged, and aged mice, we identified cell-type-dependent alterations in IGF1 and IGF1R expressions in the PFC of C57BL/6 mice, characterized by a reduction of IGF1 in both excitatory (CaMKII
