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

Stabilization of axonal connections is an underappreciated, but critical, element in development and maintenance of neuronal functions. The ability to maintain the overall architecture of the brain for decades is essential for our ability to process sensory information efficiently, coordinate motor activity, and retain memories for a lifetime. While the importance of the neuronal cytoskeleton in this process is acknowledged, little has been known about specializations of the axonal cytoskeleton needed to stabilize neuronal architectures. A novel post-translational modification of tubulin that stabilizes normally dynamic microtubules in axons has now been identified. Polyamination appears to be enriched in axons and is developmentally regulated with a time course that correlates with increased microtubule stabilization. Identifying one of the molecular mechanisms for maintaining neuronal connections creates new research avenues for understanding the role of stabilizing neuronal architecture in neuronal function and in neuropathology.
