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

Hebbian synaptic plasticity, such as hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP), is thought to be important for particular types of learning and memory. It involves changes in the expression and activity of a large array of proteins, including cell adhesion molecules. The integrin class of cell adhesion molecules has been extensively studied in this respect, and appear to have a defined role in consolidating both structural and functional changes brought about by LTP. With the use of integrin inhibitors, it has been possible to identify a critical time window of several minutes after LTP induction for the participation of integrins in LTP. Altering the interactions of integrins with their ligands during this time compromises structural changes involving actin polymerisation and spine enlargement that could be required for accommodating new AMPA receptors (AMPARs). After this critical window of structural remodelling and plasticity, integrins "lock-in" and stabilise the morphological changes, conferring the requisite longevity for LTP. Genetic manipulations targeting integrin subtypes have helped identify the specific integrin subunits involved in LTP and correlate alterations in plasticity with behavioural deficits. Moreover, recent studies have implicated integrins in AMPAR trafficking and glycine receptor lateral diffusion, highlighting their multifaceted functions at the synapse.
