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

We characterized presubicular neurons giving rise to bilateral projections to the medial entorhinal cortex (MEA) of the rat. Retrograde labeling of presubiculo-entorhinal projections with horseradish peroxidase and subsequent GABA immunocytochemistry revealed that 20-30% of the ipsilaterally projecting neurons are GABAergic. No GABAergic projections to the contralateral MEA were observed. GABAergic projection neurons were observed only in the dorsal part of the presubiculum, which, when taking into account the topography of presubicular projections to MEA, indicates that only the dorsal part of MEA receives GABAergic input. The GABAergic projection neurons constitute approximately 30-40% of all GABAergic neurons present in the superficial layers of the dorsal presubiculum. Using double-label fluorescent retrograde tracing, we found that the ipsilateral and contralateral presubiculo-entorhinal projections originate from different populations of neurons. Anterograde labeling of presubiculo-entorhinal projections and electron microscopical analysis of labeled terminals substantiated the presence of a restricted GABAergic presubiculo-entorhinal projection. A small fraction of afferents to only ipsilateral dorsal MEA formed symmetrical synapses with dendritic shafts. No symmetrical synapses on spines were noted. Most afferents to the dorsal part of ipsilateral MEA, as well as all afferents to the remaining ipsilateral and contralateral MEA, formed asymmetrical synapses with both spines and dendritic shafts in an almost equal ratio. Thus, we conclude that the majority of the presubiculo-entorhinal projections exert an excitatory effect on both principal neurons and interneurons. The projections from the dorsal part of the presubiculum comprise a small inhibitory component that originates from GABAergic neurons and targets entorhinal interneurons.
