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

Protein palmitoylation is the most common post-translational lipid modification in the brain and is mediated by a family of 24 zDHHC enzymes. There has been growing interest in zDHHCs due to mounting evidence that these enzymes play key roles in the development and function of neuronal connections, and the fact that a number of zDHHCs have been associated with neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative diseases. Loss-of-function variants in several zDHHCs, including zDHHC15, have been identified in patients with intellectual disabilities; however, the function of zDHHC15 in the brain has not been well studied. Here, we demonstrate that knocking down zDHHC15 in primary rat hippocampal cultures reduces dendritic outgrowth and arborization, as well as spine maturation. Moreover, knockdown of zDHHC15 reduces palmitoylation of PSD-95 and its trafficking into dendrites, resulting in an overall decrease in the density of excitatory synapses being formed onto mutant cells.
