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

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is an enzyme that terminates acetylcholine neurotransmitter function at the synaptic cleft of cholinergic synapses. However, the mechanism by which AChE number and density are maintained at the synaptic cleft is poorly understood. In this work, we used fluorescence recovery after photobleaching, photo-unbinding, and quantitative fluorescence imaging to investigate the surface mobility and stability of AChE at the adult innervated neuromuscular junction of living mice. In wild-type synapses, we found that nonsynaptic (perisynaptic and extrasynaptic) AChEs are mobile and gradually recruited into synaptic sites and that most of the trapped AChEs come from the perijunctional pool. Selective labeling of a subset of synaptic AChEs within the synapse by using sequential unbinding and relabeling with different colors of streptavidin followed by time-lapse imaging showed that synaptic AChEs are nearly immobile. At neuromuscular junctions of mice deficient in alpha-dystrobrevin, a component of the dystrophin glycoprotein complex, we found that the density and distribution of synaptic AChEs are profoundly altered and that the loss rate of AChE significantly increased. These results demonstrate that nonsynaptic AChEs are mobile, whereas synaptic AChEs are more stable, and that alpha-dystrobrevin is important for controlling the density and stability of AChEs at neuromuscular synapses.
