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

Secretory carrier membrane proteins (SCAMPs) play an important role in exocytosis in animals, but the precise function of SCAMPs in human disease is unknown. In this study, we identified a homozygous mutation, SCAMP5 R91W, in a Chinese consanguineous family with pediatric epilepsy and juvenile Parkinson's disease. Scamp5 R91W mutant knock-in mice showed typical early-onset epilepsy similar to that in humans. Single-neuron electrophysiological recordings showed that the R91W mutation significantly increased the frequency of miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents (mEPSCs) at a resting state and also increased the amplitude of evoked EPSCs. The R91W mutation affected the interaction between SCAMP5 and synaptotagmin 1 and may affect the function of the SNARE complex, the machinery required for vesicular trafficking and neurotransmitter release. Our work shows that dysfunction of SCAMP5 shifted the excitation/inhibition balance of the neuronal network in the brain, and the deficiency of SCAMP5 leads to pediatric epilepsy.
