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.

Abstract

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a psychiatric disorder that affects ~5% of school-aged children; however, the mechanisms underlying ADHD remain largely unclear. Here we report a previously unidentified association between G protein-coupled receptor kinase-interacting protein-1 (GIT1) and ADHD in humans. An intronic single-nucleotide polymorphism in GIT1, the minor allele of which causes reduced GIT1 expression, shows a strong association with ADHD susceptibility in humans. Git1-deficient mice show ADHD-like phenotypes, with traits including hyperactivity, enhanced electroencephalogram theta rhythms and impaired learning and memory. Hyperactivity in Git1(-/-) mice is reversed by amphetamine and methylphenidate, psychostimulants commonly used to treat ADHD. In addition, amphetamine normalizes enhanced theta rhythms and impaired memory. GIT1 deficiency in mice leads to decreases in ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate-1 (RAC1) signaling and inhibitory presynaptic input; furthermore, it shifts the neuronal excitation-inhibition balance in postsynaptic neurons toward excitation. Our study identifies a previously unknown involvement of GIT1 in human ADHD and shows that GIT1 deficiency in mice causes psychostimulant-responsive ADHD-like phenotypes.
