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

The suprachiasmatic nucleus is the circadian pacemaker of the mammalian brain. Suprachiasmatic nucleus neurons display synchronization of their firing frequency on a circadian timescale, which is required for the pacemaker function of the suprachiasmatic nucleus. However, the mechanisms by which suprachiasmatic nucleus neurons remain synchronized in vivo are poorly understood, although synaptic communication is considered indispensable. Suprachiasmatic nucleus neurons contain the neurotransmitter GABA and express GABA receptors. This has inspired the hypothesis that GABA signalling may play a central role in network synchronization, although this remains untested in vivo. Here, using local genetic deletion, we show that disruption of GABA synaptic transmission within the suprachiasmatic nucleus of adult mice results in the eventual deterioration of physiological and behavioural rhythmicity in vivo and concomitant cellular desynchrony in vitro. These findings suggest that intercellular GABA signalling is essential for behavioural rhythmicity and cellular synchrony of the suprachiasmatic nucleus neural network.
