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

Neural circuits in the spinal cord are composed of diverse populations of interneurons that play crucial roles in shaping motor output. However, the extent of interneuron heterogeneity and how this diversity relates to functional aspects of movement remain unclear. Here, through a focus on mouse spinal V1 interneurons, we show that loss of the V1 transcription factor En1 selectively disrupts the frequency of rhythmic locomotor output but does not disrupt flexion/extension limb movement, thereby decoupling two key functional roles ascribed to this neuronal population. To investigate the cellular basis of these deficits, we generated a single-nucleus transcriptomic atlas of V1 interneurons across postnatal development. Our analysis reveals age-dependent transcriptional changes while also demonstrating that their core molecular taxonomy perdures into adulthood. Notably, En1 deficiency selectively perturbed a single subset of V1
