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

Neuronal migration is essential for the formation of cortical layers, and proper neuronal migration requires the coordination of cytoskeletal regulation. LIMK1 is a serine/threonine protein kinase that mediates actin dynamics by regulating actin depolymerization factor/cofilin. However, the role of LIMK1 in neuronal migration and its potential mechanism remains elusive. Here, we found that using the in utero electroporation to overexpress LIMK1 and its mutants, constitutively active LIMK1 (LIMK1-CA) and dominant-negative LIMK1 (LIMK1-DN), impaired neuronal migration in the embryonic mouse brain. In addition, the aberrant expression of LIMK1-WT and LIMK1-CA induced abnormal branching and increased the length of the leading process, while LIMK1-DN-transfected neurons gave rise to two leading processes. Furthermore, the co-transfection of LIMK1-CA and cofilin-S3A partially rescued the migration deficiency and fully rescued the morphological changes in migrating neurons induced by LIMK1-CA. Our results indicated that LIMK1 negatively regulated neuronal migration by affecting the neuronal cytoskeleton and that its effects were partly mediated by cofilin phosphorylation.
