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

Long-term memory requires the activity-dependent reorganization of the synaptic proteome to modulate synaptic efficacy and consequently consolidate memory. Activity-regulated RNA translation can change the protein composition at the stimulated synapse. Cytoplasmic polyadenylation element-binding protein 3 (CPEB3) is a sequence-specific RNA-binding protein that represses translation of its target mRNAs in neurons, while activation of N-methyl-d-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptors alleviates this repression. Although recent research has revealed the mechanism of CPEB3-inhibited translation, how NMDA receptor signaling modulates the translational activity of CPEB3 remains unclear. This study shows that the repressor CPEB3 is degraded in NMDA-stimulated neurons and that the degradation of CPEB3 is accompanied by the elevated expression of CPEB3's target, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), mostly at the translational level. Using pharmacological and knockdown approaches, we have identified that calpain 2, activated by the influx of calcium through NMDA receptors, proteolyzes the N-terminal repression motif but not the C-terminal RNA-binding domain of CPEB3. As a result, the calpain 2-cleaved CPEB3 fragment binds to RNA but fails to repress translation. Therefore, the cleavage of CPEB3 by NMDA-activated calpain 2 accounts for the activity-related translation of CPEB3-targeted RNAs.
