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 dopamine transporter (DAT) plays a crucial role in dopaminergic neurotransmission as it clears the extracellular space of dopamine (DA) and thus controls the concentration of active neurotransmitter. Genetic association studies have reported a variable number of tandem repeat polymorphisms in the 3'-noncoding region of the DAT gene implicating this protein in the development of various psychiatric disorders. In a sample of bipolar patients, two rare missense substitutions (A559V and E602G) have been identified, one of which (E602G) was inherited by the patient from her affected father. None of these mutations had been identified in any control subjects of this survey. Using a heterologous cellular expression system, we have analysed possible consequences of these mutations on functional properties of the encoded DAT protein. DA transport measurements and antagonist binding revealed that the A559V mutant protein is fully functional, whereas the E602G mutant is not. Further analyses by confocal microscopy showed that the E602G protein is transcribed and translated but not delivered to the cell surface. Taken together, our results suggest that this missense mutation has functional consequences thus supporting the need to screen larger samples of patients and their relatives for this rare but bipolar disorder-associated mutation in the DAT gene.
