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

Cortical somatostatin-expressing (SST+) interneurons (cINs) are key regulators of dendritic integration and synaptic plasticity, yet the timing and molecular mechanisms underlying their postnatal maturation remain incompletely understood. Previous studies have suggested that key aspects of SST+ cIN maturation are largely established by the end of the second postnatal week. Here, we combined transcriptomic profiling and electrophysiological recordings to characterize the developmental trajectory of SST+ interneurons in the mouse neocortex from the second postnatal week through the end of the first postnatal month. Bulk RNA sequencing of fluorescence-activated cell sorted SST+ cINs at P10, P15, and P30 revealed extensive transcriptional remodeling, including continued upregulation of genes associated with ion channel activity, synaptic transmission, and neuronal excitability beyond the second postnatal week. Consistent with these molecular changes, electrophysiological recordings demonstrated ongoing maturation of intrinsic and synaptic properties between P15 and P30. Notably, developmental upregulation of voltage-gated sodium and potassium genes correlated with the observed changes in intrinsic excitability, while alterations in GABA
