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

Dendritic spines are believed to be micro-compartments of Ca(2+) regulation. In a recent study, it was suggested that the ubiquitous and evolutionarily conserved Ca(2+) sensor, calmodulin (CaM), is the first to intercept Ca(2+) entering the spine and might be responsible for the fast decay of Ca(2+) transients in spines. Neuronal calcium sensor (NCS) and neuronal calcium-binding protein (nCaBP) families consist of Ca(2+) sensors with largely unknown synaptic functions despite an increasing number of interaction partners. Particularly how these sensors operate in spines in the presence of CaM has not been discussed in detail before. The limited Ca(2+) resources and the existence of common targets create a highly competitive environment where Ca(2+) sensors compete with each other for Ca(2+) and target binding. In this review, we take a simple numerical approach to put forth possible scenarios and their impact on signaling via Ca(2+) sensors of the NCS and nCaBP families. We also discuss the ways in which spine geometry and properties of ion channels, their kinetics and distribution, alter the spatio-temporal aspects of Ca(2+) transients in dendritic spines, whose interplay with Ca(2+) sensors in turn influences the race for Ca(2+).
