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 precise structural and functional characteristics of input circuits targeting histaminergic neurons remain poorly understood. Here, using a rabies virus retrograde tracing system combined with fluorescence micro-optical sectioning tomography, we construct a 3D monosynaptic long-range input atlas of male mouse histaminergic neurons. We identify that the hypothalamus, thalamus, pallidum, and hippocampus constitute major input sources, exhibiting diverse spatial distribution patterns and neuronal type ratios. Notably, a specific layer distribution pattern and co-projection structures of upstream cortical neurons are well reconstructed at single-cell resolution. As histaminergic system is classically involved in sleep-wake regulation, we demonstrate that the lateral septum (predominantly supplying inhibitory inputs) and the paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus (predominantly supplying excitatory inputs) establish monosynaptic connections, exhibiting distinct functional dynamics and regulatory roles in rapid-eye-movement sleep. Collectively, our study provides a precise long-range input map of mouse histaminergic neurons at mesoscopic scale, laying a solid foundation for future systematic study of histaminergic neural circuits.
