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

We isolated the rat synaptotagmin IV (Syt IV) cDNA in a screen for sequences that are specifically induced in neuronal cells. The Syts are a large family of genes thought to mediate synaptic function. Syt IV is brain-specific, induced in hippocampus by depolarization, and predominantly vesicular. To assess the function role of Syt IV in vivo, we generated Syt IV(-/-) mutant mice. Syt IV (-/-) mice are viable and appear normal, indicating this gene is not essential for survival or gross development. However, Syt IV (-/-) mutants, when compared to wild-type littermates, have deficits in fine motor coordination and hippocampus-dependent memory, suggesting Syt IV has a role in normal brain function. The human Syt IV ortholog maps to a region of chromosome 18 previously associated with the human psychiatric disorders, schizophrenia and bipolar disease. These results suggest that Syt IV is required in certain types of neurons for optimal functionality, that perturbations in the levels of Syt IV can result in memory loss in mice, and that Syt IV alterations may lead to psychiatric disease in humans.
