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

To understand how the presynaptic proteins synapsin and Rab3a may interact in the regulation of the synaptic vesicle cycle and the release process, we derived a double knockout (DKO) mouse lacking both synapsin II and Rab3a. We found that Rab3a deletion rescued epileptic-like seizures typical for synapsin II gene deleted animals (Syn II(-)). Furthermore, action potential evoked release was drastically reduced in DKO synapses, although spontaneous release remained normal. At low Ca2+ conditions, quantal content was equally reduced in Rab3a(-) and DKO synapses, but as Ca2+ concentration increased, the increase in quantal content was more prominent in Rab3a(-). Electron microscopy analysis revealed that DKO synapses have a combined phenotype, with docked vesicles being reduced similar to Rab3a(-), and intraterminal vesicles being depleted similar to Syn II(-). Consistently, both Syn II(-) and DKO terminals had increased synaptic depression and incomplete recovery. Taken together, our results suggest that synapsin II and Rab3a have separate roles in maintaining the total store of synaptic vesicles and cooperate in promoting the latest steps of neuronal secretion.
