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

Neurons have classically been characterized by their anatomy, electrophysiology, and molecular markers. More recently, single-cell transcriptomics has enabled an increasingly fine genetically defined taxonomy of cortical cell types, but the link between the gene expression of individual cell types and their physiological and anatomical properties remains poorly understood. Here, we develop a hybrid modeling approach to bridge this gap: our approach combines statistical and mechanistic models to predict cells' electrophysiological activity from gene expression patterns. To this end, we fit Hodgkin-Huxley-based models for a wide variety of cortical cell types by using simulation-based inference while overcoming the mismatch between model and data. Using multimodal Patch-seq data, we link the estimated model parameters to gene expression using an interpretable linear sparse regression model. Our approach identifies the expression of specific ion channel genes as predictive of biophysical model parameters including ion channel densities, implicating their mechanistic role in determining neural firing properties.
