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

Syndapins are potential links between the cortical actin cytoskeleton and endocytosis because this family of dynamin-associated proteins can also interact with the Arp2/3 complex activator N-WASP. Here we provide evidence for involvement of N-WASP interactions in receptor-mediated endocytosis. We reveal that the observed dominant-negative effects of N-WASP are dependent exclusively on the proline-rich domain, the binding interface of syndapins. Our results therefore suggest that syndapins integrate N-WASP functions in endocytosis. Both proteins co-localize in neuronal cells. Consistent with a crucial role for syndapins in endocytic uptake, co-overexpression of syndapins rescued the endocytosis block caused by N-WASP. An in vivo reconstitution of the syndapin-N-WASP interaction at cellular membranes triggered local actin polymerization. Depletion of endogenous N-WASP by sequestering it to mitochondria or by introducing anti-N-WASP antibodies impaired endocytosis. Our data suggest that syndapins may act as important coordinators of N-WASP and dynamin functions during the different steps of receptor-mediated endocytosis and that local actin polymerization induced by syndapin-N-WASP interactions may be a mechanism supporting clathrin-coated vesicle detachment and movement away from the plasma membrane.
