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 emergence of genes implicated across multiple comorbid neurologic disorders allows to identify shared underlying molecular pathways. Recently, investigation of patients with diverse neurologic disorders found TANC1 and TANC2 as possible candidate disease genes. While the TANC proteins have been reported as postsynaptic scaffolds influencing synaptic spines and excitatory synapse strength, their molecular functions remain unknown. Here, we conducted a comprehensive in silico analysis of the TANC protein family to characterize their molecular role and understand possible neurobiological consequences of their disruption. The known Ankyrin and tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) domains have been modeled. The newly predicted N-terminal ATPase domain may function as a regulated molecular switch for downstream signaling. Several putative conserved protein binding motifs allowed to extend the TANC interaction network. Interestingly, we highlighted connections with different signaling pathways converging to modulate neuronal activity. Beyond a known role for TANC family members in the glutamate receptor pathway, they seem linked to planar cell polarity signaling, Hippo pathway, and cilium assembly. This suggests an important role in neuron projection, extension and differentiation.
