Synaptic vesicle recycling at CNS snapses without AP-2.
Article in The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 81 papers.
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.
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
Synaptic vesicles (SVs) are composed of approximately 10 types of transmembrane proteins that must be recycled after exocytosis of neurotransmitter. The mechanisms for resorting these proteins into synaptic vesicles once incorporated into the plasma membrane after exocytosis are poorly understood. The adaptor complex AP-2 is the major clathrin-associated adaptor for cargo recognition at the plasma membrane. Here, we have investigated its role in synaptic vesicle endocytosis. shRNA-mediated knockdown of the AP-2 complex results in an approximately 96% reduction of this protein complex in primary neurons. We used simultaneous expression of shRNA and pHluorin-tagged vesicle components to show that the absence of AP-2 significantly slows but does not prevent the endocytosis of four of the major synaptic vesicle transmembrane proteins. We show that in the absence of AP-2, the AP-1 adaptor complex appears to functionally substitute for AP-2 but results in complex internalization kinetics that are now sensitive to the guanine-nucleotide exchange factor for ADP-ribosylation factor GTPase (ARF-GEF) inhibitor brefeldin-A (BFA). Simultaneous removal of both AP-2 and AP-1 prevents this compensatory substitution and results in slowed but functional endocytosis. These results demonstrate that in the absence of AP-2, SV proteins still become endocytosed, and synaptic vesicle recycling remains operational.
