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

Gene expression in individual neurons can change during development to adulthood and can have large effects on behavior. Additionally, the insulin/insulin-like signaling (IIS) pathway regulates many of the adult functions of Caenorhabditis elegans, including learning and memory, via transcriptional changes. We used the deep resolution of single-nucleus RNA sequencing to define the adult transcriptome of each neuron in wild-type and daf-2 mutants, revealing expression differences between L4 larval and adult neurons in chemoreceptors, synaptic genes, and learning/memory genes. We used these data to identify adult new AWC-specific regulators of chemosensory function that emerge upon adulthood. daf-2 gene expression changes correlate with improved cognitive functions, particularly in the AWC sensory neuron that controls learning and associative memory; behavioral assays of AWC-specific daf-2 genes revealed their roles in cognitive function. Combining technology and functional validation, we identified conserved genes that function in specific adult neurons to control behavior, including learning and memory.
