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

Glutamate-receptor-like molecule δ2 (GluRδ2, GluD2) has been classified as an ionotropic glutamate receptor subunit. It is selectively expressed on the postsynaptic membrane at parallel fiber-Purkinje neuron synapses in the cerebellum. Mutant mice deficient in GluRδ2 show impaired synaptic plasticity, the decrease in the number of parallel fiber-Purkinje neuron synapses, multiple innervation of climbing fibers on a Purkinje neuron, and defects in motor control and learning. Thus, GluRδ2 plays crucial roles in the cerebellar function. Recent studies on GluRδ2 have shown that it has synaptogenic activity. GluRδ2 expressed in a non-neuronal cell induces presynaptic differentiation of granule neurons in a co-culture preparation. This synaptogenic activity depends on an extracellular N-terminal leucine/isoleucine/valine binding protein-like domain of GluRδ2. GluRδ2 plays critical roles in formation, maturation, and/or maintenance of granule neuron-Purkinje neuron synapses.
