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

The K-Cl cotransporter KCC2 has two entirely independent biological actions as either an ion transporter or a structural protein orchestrating the organization of the cytoskeleton in neuronal structures. The K-Cl cotransport by KCC2 is central for hyperpolarizing inhibitory signaling, which is based on chloride currents mediated by γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)- or glycine-gated receptor channels. In contrast, the structural role of KCC2 seems to be crucially involved in the maturation and regulation of excitatory glutamatergic synapses. This dual role at GABAergic/glycinergic and glutamatergic synapses makes KCC2 a key molecule in the regulation of inhibitory and excitatory signaling. Therefore, KCC2 is most likely involved in the synchronization of the two types of activity during network formation in the immature system and a similar synchronizing role might also be important under physiological and pathological conditions in mature neuronal networks. In this review, we explore new findings on the regulation of KCC2 by protease-mediated cleavage and on the structural role of KCC2 in spine morphogenesis and glutamate receptor clustering. We then discuss the implications of the putative interaction between the independent functions of the transporter and overlapping regulatory mechanisms in a neurophysiological context. In addition, we look at the multifunctional properties of KCC2 in the light of evolution and propose that KCC2 belongs to the group of moonlighting (multifunctional) proteins.
