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

Bidirectional scaling of synaptic transmission, expressed as a compensatory change in quantal size following chronic activity perturbation, is a critical effector mechanism underlying homeostatic plasticity in the brain. An emerging model posits that the GluA2 AMPA receptor (AMPAR) subunit may be important for the bidirectional scaling of excitatory transmission; however, whether this subunit plays an obligatory role in synaptic scaling, and the identity of the precise domain(s) involved, remain controversial. We set out to determine the specific AMPAR subunit required for scaling up in CA1 hippocampal pyramidal neurons, and found that the GluA2 subunit is both necessary and sufficient. In addition, our results point to a critical role for a single amino acid within the membrane-proximal region of the GluA2 cytoplasmic tail, and suggest a distinct model for the regulation of AMPAR trafficking in synaptic homeostasis.
