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 role(s) of the newly discovered stargazin-like γ-subunit proteins remains unclear; although they are now widely accepted to be transmembrane AMPA receptor regulatory proteins (TARPs), rather than Ca²⁺ channel subunits, it is possible that they have more general roles in trafficking within neurons. We previously found that γ₇ subunit is associated with vesicles when it is expressed in neurons and other cells. Here, we show that γ₇ is present mainly in retrogradely transported organelles in sympathetic neurons, where it colocalises with TrkA-YFP, and with the early endosome marker EEA1, suggesting that γ₇ localises to signalling endosomes. It was not found to colocalise with markers of the endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, lysosomes or late endosomes. Furthermore, knockdown of endogenous γ₇ by short hairpin RNA transfection into sympathetic neurons reduced neurite outgrowth. The same was true in the PC12 neuronal cell line, where neurite outgrowth was restored by overexpression of human γ₇. These findings open the possibility that γ₇ has an essential trafficking role in relation to neurite outgrowth as a component of endosomes involved in neurite extension and growth cone remodelling.
