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

Neuregulin 1 (NRG1) is a trophic factor that has been implicated in neural development, neurotransmission, and synaptic plasticity. NRG1 has multiple isoforms that are generated by usage of different promoters and alternative splicing of a single gene. However, little is known about NRG1 isoform composition profile, whether it changes during development, or the underlying mechanisms. We found that each of the six types of NRG1 has a distinct expression pattern in the brain at different ages, resulting in a change in NRG1 isoform composition. In both human and rat, the most dominant are types III and II, followed by either type I or type V, while types IV and VI are the least abundant. The expression of NRG1 isoforms is higher in rat brains at ages of E13 and P5 (in particular type V), suggesting roles in early neural development and in the neonatal critical period. At the cellular level, the majority of NRG1 isoforms (types I, II, and III) are expressed in excitatory neurons, although they are also present in GABAergic neurons and astrocytes. Finally, the expression of each NRG1 isoform is distinctly regulated by neuronal activity, which causes significant increase in type I and IV NRG1 levels. Neuronal activity regulation of type IV expression requires a CRE cis-element in the 5' untranslated region (UTR) that binds to CREB. These results indicate that expression of NRG1 isoforms is regulated by distinct mechanisms, which may contribute to versatile functions of NRG1 and pathologic mechanisms of brain disorders such as schizophrenia.
