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

Activity-regulated cytoskeletal-associated protein (Arc, also known as activity-regulated gene 3.1 or Arg3.1) is induced in neurons in response to salient experience and neural activity and is necessary for activity-induced forms of synaptic plasticity, such as long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD), cellular substrates of learning and memory. The best-characterized function of Arc is enhancement of the endocytic internalization of AMPA receptors in dendritic spines, a process associated with LTD. Arc has also been implicated in the proteolytic processing of amyloid precursor protein on the surface of endosomes. To mediate these activities, Arc must associate with cellular membranes, but it is unclear whether Arc binds directly to the lipid bilayer or requires protein-protein interactions for membrane recruitment. In this study, we show that Arc associates with pure phospholipid vesicles in vitro and undergoes palmitoylation in neurons, a modification that allows it to insert directly into the hydrophobic core of the bilayer. The palmitoylated cysteines are clustered in a motif,
