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

The Slit-Robo GTPase-activating proteins (srGAPs) are important multifunctional adaptor proteins involved in various aspects of neuronal development, including axon guidance, neuronal migration, neurite outgrowth, dendritic morphology and synaptic plasticity. Among them, srGAP3, also named MEGAP (Mental disorder-associated GTPase-activating protein), plays a putative role in severe mental retardation. SrGAP3 expression in ventricular zones of neurogenesis indicates its involvement in early stage of neuronal development and differentiation. Here, we show that overexpression of srGAP3 inhibits VPA (valproic acid)-induced neurite initiation and neuronal differentiation in Neuro2A neuroblastoma cells, whereas knockdown of srGAP3 facilitates the neuronal differentiation in this cell line. In contrast to the wild type, overexpression of srGAP3 harboring an artificially mutation R542A within the functionally important RhoGAP domain does not exert a visible inhibitory effect on neuronal differentiation. The endogenous srGAP3 selectively binds to activated form of Rac1 in a RhoGAP pull-down assay. We also show that constitutively active (CA) Rac1 can rescue the effect of srGAP3 on attenuating neuronal differentiation. Furthermore, change in expression and localization of endogenous srGAP3 is observed in neuronal differentiated Neuro2A cells. Together, our data suggest that srGAP3 could regulate neuronal differentiation in a Rac1-dependent manner.
