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

Inhibitory synapse formation is poorly understood compared with excitatory synaptogenesis, in part because the molecular events underlying assembly occur asynchronously and on timescales that have been difficult to resolve. Here, we exploit the ability of Semaphorin 4D (Sema4D) to rapidly and selectively induce GABAergic synapse formation in cultured hippocampal neurons, synchronizing these events to enable direct observation of pre- and postsynaptic protein dynamics by two-channel live imaging. We find that Sema4D promotes a population-wide increase in the mobility of GAD65-containing presynaptic boutons within 20 min of treatment while postsynaptic gephyrin scaffolds are mobilized only locally in a proximity-dependent manner, consistent with a presynapse-first model of inhibitory synapse assembly. Sema4D also drives recruitment of GABA
