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

Syndapin is a conserved dynamin-binding protein, with predicted function in synaptic-vesicle endocytosis. Here, we combine genetic mutational analysis with in vivo cell biological assays to ask whether Drosophila syndapin (Synd) is an essential component of synaptic-vesicle recycling. The only isoform of Drosophila syndapin (synd) is broadly expressed and at high levels in the nervous system. synd mutants are late-larval lethals, but fertile adult "escapers" frequently emerge. Contrary to expectation, we report that the Synd protein is predominantly postsynaptic, undetectable at presynaptic varicosities at Drosophila third-instar larval neuromuscular junctions. Electrophysiological and synaptopHluorin imaging in control, synd-deficient or synd-overexpressing motor neurons reveals that synd is dispensable for synaptic-vesicle endocytosis. Our work in Drosophila leads to the suggestion that syndapin may not be a general or essential component in dynamin-dependent synaptic-vesicle endocytosis.
