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

The muscle-specific receptor tyrosine kinase (MuSK) is part of a receptor complex, activated by neural agrin, that orchestrates the differentiation of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ). To gain insight into the function of the MuSK complex, we have developed a proteomic approach to identify new MuSK partners. MS analysis of MuSK crosslink products from postsynaptic membranes of the Torpedo electrocytes identified the adaptor protein 14-3-3 gamma. The 14-3-3 gamma protein was found localized at the adult rat NMJ. Cotransfection experiments in COS-7 cells showed that MuSK codistributed with the 14-3-3 gamma protein at the plasma membrane. Furthermore, 14-3-3 gamma was copurified by affinity chromatography with MuSK from transfected COS-7 cells and myotubes. The 14-3-3 gamma protein did not colocalize with agrin-elicited acetylcholine receptor (AChR) aggregates in cultured myotubes, suggesting that it is not involved in AChR clustering. Expression of 14-3-3 gamma specifically repressed the transcription of several synaptic reporter genes in cultured myotubes. This repression was potentiated by MuSK expression. Moreover, the expression of 14-3-3 gamma in muscle fibers in vivo caused both the repression of synaptic genes transcription and morphological perturbations of the NMJ. Our data extend the notion that, apart from its well documented role in AChR clustering, the MuSK complex might also be involved in the regulation of synaptic gene expression at the NMJ.
