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

Synaptic transmission depends on several molecular and geometric components, such as the location of vesicular release, the number of released neurotransmitter molecules, the number and type of receptors, as well as the synapse organization. Our goal here is to illustrate how synaptic modeling allows extracting quantitative information in the context of neurological diseases and associated therapies. Combining electrophysiology with simulation tools, we first evaluate the reduction in synaptically released glutamate molecules induced by a ketogenic diet. In a second part, because the scaffolding molecule Shank3 is disrupted at the postsynaptic density in Autism Spectral Disorders, we present a numerical simulation of the synaptic response where this disruption leads to an alteration of the excitatory AMPA receptor trafficking. The take home message is that combining recent experimental findings with modeling approaches allows obtaining precise quantitative properties of what was still unapproachable a decade ago.
