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

Over the past years, accumulating evidence has indicated that D-serine is the endogenous ligand for the glycine-modulatory binding site on the NR1 subunit of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors in various brain areas. D-Serine is synthesized in glial cells and neurons by the pyridoxal-5' phosphate-dependent enzyme serine racemase, and it is released upon activation of glutamate receptors. The cellular concentration of this novel messenger is regulated by both serine racemase isomerization and elimination reactions, as well as by its selective degradation catalyzed by the flavin adenine dinucleotide-containing flavoenzyme D-amino acid oxidase. Here, we present an overview of the current knowledge of the metabolism of D-serine in human brain at the molecular and cellular levels, with a specific emphasis on the brain localization and regulatory pathways of D-serine, serine racemase, and D-amino acid oxidase. Furthermore, we discuss how D-serine is involved with specific pathological conditions related to N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors over- or down-regulation.
