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

Shal K(+) (K(v)4) channels in mammalian neurons have been shown to be localized exclusively to somato-dendritic regions of neurons, where they function as key determinants of dendritic excitability. To gain insight into the mechanisms underlying dendritic localization of K(v)4 channels, we use Drosophila melanogaster as our model system. We show that Shal K(+) channels display a conserved somato-dendritic localization in vivo in Drosophila. From a yeast-2-hybrid screen, we identify the novel interactor, SIDL (for Shal Interactor of Di-Leucine Motif), as the first target protein reported to bind the highly conserved di-leucine motif (LL-motif) implicated in dendritic targeting. We show that SIDL is expressed primarily in the nervous system, co-localizes with GFP-Shal channels in neurons, and interacts specifically with the LL-motif of Drosophila and mouse Shal channels. We disrupt the Shal-SIDL interaction by mutating the LL-motif on Shal channels, and show that Shal K(+) channels are then mislocalized to some, but not all, axons in vivo. These results suggest that there are multiple mechanisms underlying Shal K(+) channel targeting, one of which depends on the LL-motif. The identification of SIDL may provide the first step for future investigation into the molecular machinery regulating the LL-motif-dependent targeting of K(+) channels.
