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

Although single-cell transcriptomics of the neocortex has uncovered more than 300 putative cell types, whether this molecular classification predicts distinct functional roles is unclear. We combined two-photon calcium imaging with spatial transcriptomics to functionally and molecularly investigate cortical circuits. We characterized behavior-related responses across major neuronal subclasses in layers 2 or 3 of the primary somatosensory cortex as mice performed a tactile working memory task. We identified an excitatory intratelencephalic cell type, Baz1a, that exhibits high tactile feature selectivity. Baz1a neurons homeostatically maintain stimulus responsiveness during altered experience and show persistent enrichment of subsets of immediately early genes. Functional and anatomical connectivity reveals that Baz1a neurons residing in upper portions of layers 2 or 3 preferentially innervate somatostatin-expressing inhibitory neurons. This motif defines a circuit hub that orchestrates local sensory processing in superficial layers of the neocortex.
