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 granular retrosplenial cortex (RSG) supports memory, orientation, and fear processing. The mouse RSG contains several cell types that are remarkably distinct from those found in other cortical regions, including low rheobase neurons that dominate Layer 2/3 (L2/3 LR) and similarly exclusive pyramidal cells in Layer 5a (L5a RSG). While the functions of the RSG are extensively studied in both mice and rats, it remains unknown if the transcriptomically unique cell types of the mouse RSG are evolutionarily conserved in rats. Here, we show that mouse and rat RSG contain the same unique cell types, with L2/3 LR and L5a RSG cell types together representing >50% of all RSG neurons in each species. This preservation of cell types in male and female rats happens despite dramatic changes in key cell-type-specific marker genes, with the
