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

Latrophilin, a neuronal "adhesion-G protein-coupled receptor", is the major brain receptor for alpha-latrotoxin, a black widow spidertoxin which stimulates strong neuronal exocytosis in vertebrates. Latrophilin has an unusual structure consisting of two fragments that are produced by the proteolytic cleavage of the parental molecule and that behave independently in the plasma membrane. On binding an agonist, the fragments reassociate and send an intracellular signal. This signal, transduced by a heterotrimeric G protein, causes release of calcium from intracellular stores and massive release of neurotransmitters. Latrophilin represents a phylogenetically conserved family of receptors, with orthologues found in all animals and up to three homologues present in most chordate species. From mammalian homologues, latrophilins 1 and 3 are expressed in neurons, while latrophilin 2 is ubiquitous. Latrophilin 1 may control synapse maturation and exocytosis, whereas latrophilin 2 may be involved in breast cancer. Latrophilins may play different roles during development and in adult animals: thus, LAT-1 determines cell fate in early embryogenesis in Caenorhabditis elegans and controls neurotransmitter release in adult nematodes. This diversity suggests that the functions of latrophilins may be determined by their interactions with respective ligands. The finding of the ligand of latrophilin 1, the large postsynaptic protein lasso, is the first step in the quest for the physiological functions of latrophilins.
