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

Dendritic spines are actin-rich membrane protrusions that are the major sites of excitatory synaptic input in the mammalian brain, and their morphological plasticity provides structural basis for learning and memory. Here we report that endophilin A1, with a well-established role in clathrin-mediated synaptic vesicle endocytosis at the presynaptic terminal, also localizes to dendritic spines and is required for spine morphogenesis, synapse formation and synaptic function. We identify p140Cap, a regulator of cytoskeleton reorganization, as a downstream effector of endophilin A1 and demonstrate that disruption of their interaction impairs spine formation and maturation. Moreover, we demonstrate that knockdown of endophilin A1 or p140Cap impairs spine stabilization and synaptic function. We further show that endophilin A1 regulates the distribution of p140Cap and its downstream effector, the F-actin-binding protein cortactin as well as F-actin enrichment in dendritic spines. Together, these results reveal a novel function of postsynaptic endophilin A1 in spine morphogenesis, stabilization and synaptic function through the regulation of p140Cap.
