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

Cell adhesion molecules regulate synapse formation and maintenance via transsynaptic contact stabilization involving both extracellular interactions and intracellular postsynaptic scaffold assembly. The cell adhesion molecule neurofascin is localized at the axon initial segment of granular cells in rat dentate gyrus, which is mainly targeted by chandelier cells. Lentiviral shRNA-mediated knockdown of neurofascin in adult rat brain indicates that neurofascin regulates the number and size of postsynaptic gephyrin scaffolds, the number of GABA(A) receptor clusters as well as presynaptic glutamate decarboxylase-positive terminals at the axon initial segment. By contrast, overexpression of neurofascin in hippocampal neurons increases gephyrin cluster size presumably via stimulation of fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 signaling pathways.
