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

Postsynaptic receptor scaffold proteins play an important role for concentrating receptor molecules in postsynaptic membranes of central nervous system synapses. In particular, clustering of glycine receptors and different types of GABAA-receptors depends on the scaffold protein gephyrin, which is thought to anchor these receptors to the cytoskeleton. Eukaryotic elongation factor 1A (eEF1A) is a component of the protein synthesis machinery. In addition, it binds and bundles actin and was shown to interact with microtubules. Therefore, it might be involved in regulating the cytoskeletal dynamics in neurons and thereby modulate receptor cluster formation and/or maintenance. In this study, we demonstrate partial colocalization of gephyrin and F-actin along filamentous structures in rat hippocampal neurons. Overexpression of eEF1A in cultured hippocampal neurons results in a significant increase in number, size and density of postsynaptic gephyrin clusters after 21 days in vitro. These findings suggest that eEF1A contributes to the morphology of postsynaptic membrane specializations at inhibitory synapses.
