Rod inputs arrive at horizontal cell somas in mouse retina solely via rod-cone coupling.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Rod and cone photoreceptor cells selectively contact different compartments of axon-bearing retinal horizontal cells in the retina. Cones synapse exclusively on the soma whereas rods synapse exclusively on a large axon terminal compartment. The possibility that rod signals can travel down the axon from terminal to soma has been proposed to allow spectrally opponent interactions between rods and cones, but there is conflicting data about whether this actually occurs. Because of spectral overlap between rod and cone visual pigments in mouse, we analyzed photoreceptor inputs into horizontal somata by selectively expressing channelrhodopsin in rods and/or cones. Optogenetic stimulation of rods and cones both evoked large fast inward currents in horizontal cell somata. Cone-driven responses were abolished by eliminating synaptic release in a cone-specific knockout of the exocytotic calcium sensor, synaptotagmin 1. However, rod-driven responses in horizontal somata were unchanged after eliminating synaptic release from rods but abolished by eliminating release from both rods and cones. This suggests that cones transmit rod signals that arrive via rod-cone gap junctions. Consistent with this, eliminating Cx36 gap junctions between rods and cones also abolished rod-driven optogenetic responses in horizontal cell somata. These results show that rod signals reach the somas of B-type horizontal cells exclusively via gap junctions with cones and not by traveling down the axon from the axon terminal.
