Loss of postsynaptic GABA(A) receptor clustering in gephyrin-deficient mice.
Article in The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience, 1999. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 184 papers.
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.
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 tubulin-binding protein gephyrin, which anchors the inhibitory glycine receptor (GlyR) at postsynaptic sites, decorates GABAergic postsynaptic membranes in various brain regions, and postsynaptic gephyrin clusters are absent from cortical cultures of mice deficient for the GABA(A) receptor gamma2 subunit. Here, we investigated the postsynaptic clustering of GABA(A) receptors in gephyrin knock-out (geph -/-) mice. Both in brain sections and cultured hippocampal neurons derived from geph -/- mice, synaptic GABA(A) receptor clusters containing either the gamma2 or the alpha2 subunit were absent, whereas glutamate receptor subunits were normally localized at postsynaptic sites. Western blot analysis and electrophysiological recording revealed that normal levels of functional GABA(A) receptors are expressed in geph -/- neurons, however the pool size of intracellular GABA(A) receptors appeared increased in the mutant cells. Thus, gephyrin is required for the synaptic localization of GlyRs and GABA(A) receptors containing the gamma2 and/or alpha2 subunits but not for the targeting of these receptors to the neuronal plasma membrane. In addition, gephyrin may be important for efficient membrane insertion and/or metabolic stabilization of inhibitory receptors at developing postsynaptic sites.
