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

N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) are ionotropic glutamate receptors that play an essential role in mediating excitatory neurotransmission in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS). Functional NMDARs are tetramers composed of GluN1, GluN2A-D, and/or GluN3A-B subunits, giving rise to a wide variety of NMDAR subtypes with unique functional properties. Here, we examined the surface delivery and functional properties of NMDARs containing mutations in the glycine-binding sites in GluN1 and GluN3A subunits expressed in mammalian cell lines and primary rat hippocampal neurons. We found that the structural features of the glycine-binding sites in both GluN1 and GluN3A subunits are correlated with receptor forward trafficking to the cell surface. In addition, we found that a potentially clinically relevant mutation in the glycine-binding site of the human GluN3A subunit significantly reduces surface delivery of NMDARs. Taken together, these findings provide novel insight into how NMDARs are regulated by their glycine-binding sites and may provide important information regarding the role of NMDARs in both physiological and pathophysiological processes in the mammalian CNS.
