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

Myelin basic protein (MBP) is an essential structural component of CNS myelin. The electrostatic association of this positively charged protein with myelin-forming membranes is a crucial step in myelination, but the mechanism that regulates myelin membrane targeting is not known. Here, we demonstrate that phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) is important for the stable association of MBP with cellular membranes. In oligodendrocytes, overexpression of synaptojanin 1-derived phosphoinositide 5-phosphatase, which selectively hydrolyzes membrane PIP2, causes the detachment of MBP from the plasma membrane. In addition, constitutively active Arf6/Q67L induces the formation of PIP2-enriched endosomal vacuoles, leading to the redistribution of MBP to intracellular vesicles. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer imaging revealed an interaction of the PIP2 sensing probe PH-PLCdelta1 with wild-type MBP, but not with a mutant MBP isoform that fails to associate with the plasma membrane. Moreover, increasing intracellular Ca(2+), followed by phospholipase C-mediated PIP2 hydrolysis, as well as reduction of the membrane charge by ATP depletion, resulted in the dissociation of MBP from the glial plasma membrane. When the corpus callosum of mice was analyzed in acute brain slices by electron microscopy, the reduction of membrane surface charge led to the loss of myelin compaction and rapid vesiculation. Together, these results establish that PIP2 is an essential determinant for stable membrane binding of MBP and provide a novel link between glial phosphoinositol metabolism and MBP function in development and disease.
