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

Memory formation is highly sensitive to specific patterns of training, but the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying pattern sensitivity are not well understood. We explored this general question by using Aplysia californica as a model system. We examined the regulation of MAPK (ERK1/2) activation by small G proteins in the CNS by using different patterns of analog stimuli that mimic different patterns of behavioral training for memory induction. We first cloned and characterized the Aplysia homologs of the small G proteins, Ras and Rap1 (ApRas and ApRap, respectively). We next examined changes in ApRas and ApRap activity that accompany MAPK activation. Last, by delivering recombinant ApRas and ApRap into the CNS, we directly manipulated their activity and examined the resultant MAPK activation. We found that MAPK activation induced by analog training depends on the combined activity of ApRas and ApRap, rather than the individual activity of either one alone. Also, ApRas and ApRap have a complex role in MAPK activation: they can act as activators or inhibitors, depending on the specific pattern of the training. The pattern-sensitive regulation of MAPK by interactive ApRas and ApRap activity that we have identified could contribute to the molecular routing of different downstream effects of spatially localized MAPK required for the induction of specific pattern-sensitive forms of synaptic facilitation and memory.
